Did you know we have a podcast?
Thank you Brandon Jones and Rev. J.R. Hall for leading worship Sunday, October 11 while I was away. I listened to Brandon's message, and like Brandon, I give thanks for a church that allows us all to sit and wrestle in the messy places of scripture and faith. I give thanks that we have so many individuals willing to share their voice to help us all experience God in community. Are you like me and missed Sunday? You can always catch sermons on our podcast. Search for "Sermon podcast Parkway Hills United Methodist Church," subscribe, and listen anytime. These are also available at our website. Listen to Brandon’s good word here.

Worship on the Lawn, Trick or Treat Trail, and Chili Cook-Off
If you've been here at PHUMC for a year or longer, you're familiar with the excitement on the day of our Worship on the Lawn, the fun of the Trick or Treat Trail, and the extreme competitiveness of our Chili Cookoff.
We will begin with small groups at 9:30 followed by Worship on the Lawn at 10:45 am. Bring a chair and an umbrella for the sun. We will not livestream this service.
At 5:00 pm, children and families are invited to meet at the front of our Stations Trail. Wear your costumes and bring your candy buckets. Youth and Bridge, arrive at 4:30 to help! We are accepting candy donations for this event. There will be marked bins in the foyers for the bags of candy.
At 6:00 pm, following our Trick or Treat Trail, all are invited inside the Worship Center for our Chili Cook-off. We need chili cooks! Click here to sign up to bring a crockpot of chili. That's all there is to it (except for your skill as a chef). So far, there have been no chili leftovers!
The winner of the cook-off gets $100 donated to the charity of their choice. Past winners have included Joe Williams, 2021, for Webster Animal Shelter; David White, 2022, for Mississippi Children's Homes; Drew and Taylor Pruett, 2023, for PHUMC Beds for Kids Ministry; Branden Henry, 2024, for Madison Young Life; and Branden Henry 2025, Grant Me Justice.
Come, wear your costumes, eat some chili, and vote for your favorite.
