East Flora Elementary Service Opportunities
Join us in celebrating our teachers at East Flora Elementary School! We will host an appreciation lunch at East Flora Elementary School on Thursday, May 8. We also celebrate Dr. Marsha Peoples, principal of East Flora, for being named the 2025 Mississippi Administrator of the Year. If you would like to help with this day of appreciation, meet at PHUMC at 10:00 a.m., and we will carpool to East Flora Elementary. Our teachers have worked so hard to help the students grow throughout the year. Let's give thanks for their dedication to the kids at East Flora Elementary.

East Flora's garden volunteer day at the school Saturday was postponed due to rain. Stay tuned for rescheduled date announcement.

It is time for our annual Women's Ministry Plant Swap. Bring a snack to share, a plant to swap, and come enjoy an evening of fellowship and connection Thursday, May 22 at 5:30. Not a plant person? That's okay! You can pick up a plant at the store, or a pot, or really anything and join in the fun, or you can just come hang out. Judy Porter has agreed to host this year. Reach out to her for directions and we will see you there.
The goal of Parkway Hills' Women's ministry is to provide opportunities for creating community for the women of the church and to reflect on ways the women of the church can serve our community. If you have ideas on ways we can live into this mission, let Pastor Dawn know.
