| Turn in your estimate of giving cards by this Sunday, March 8.
Due to some upcoming building needs,
we have two asks:
1) Prayerfully discern a 2026 estimate of giving toward the mission and ministry of Parkway Hills and return your card by this Sunday, March 8 to aid us in projecting, financially, how 2026 will look.
2) As you feel led and are able throughout the year, make an additional gift to “Building Projects” to aid with our Porte Cochere and Steeple Repair. You may do so online, through our Vanco mobile app, or with cash or check marked “Building Projects.”

Their Light Still Shines!
Our annual honor/memorial Easter candles help fund our Youth Trip Scholarship Fund to aid our youth in covering the cost of the various trips and retreats throughout the year. Money should never be the reason one of our youth cannot participate. To purchase your candle in honor or memory of a loved one, pick up a form in the foyer or church office. For each name remembered or honored, cost is $10. You can pay via check (mark "Easter Candle" in the memo), online, or via our Vanco mobile app (look for "Easter Candles"). Deadline for reservation is Wednesday, April 1.
