Southern Christian Services

Kelsey Neeley with Southern Christian Services joined us in worship Sunday, March 13,  to let us know more about their important work in providing safe, loving homes for children and teens. If you would like to know more, or are considering being a foster parent, please visit https://www.scscy.org/.
We at PHUMC share many of our prayer quilts with children sponsored through this organization.  Watch the video here that was aired during our service: https://youtu.be/eLIHi6pFc14.
This Lent we remember, celebrate and practice embodied faith. Each Sunday we will lift a story of Jesus and reflect on what Jesus teaches us about practicing embodied faith.  Last Sunday we found Jesus lamenting over Jerusalem and giving us the image of a mother hen caring for her chicks; you may find the service here. This Sunday Jesus gives us the image of the gardener.  I hope to see you there. I invite you to pray over how God is calling you this season to practice embodied faith. We have given some ways you can more fully enter this season but go where the Spirit leads!  No matter how you choose to walk through this season, we ALL walk it together.  May we observe a Holy Lent.  May we practice an embodied faith.
 
This Sunday: Luke 13:1-9/TheCare of a Gardener

Easter Yard Signs
Part of practicing embodied faith is sharing the hope that is our gospel story.  We share the hope when we invite others to come hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and join us in our mission and ministry as church together.  One easy way is to purchase a yard sign for Easter.  They are $8 and will be available for pickup in the office March 20.  You can pay via our mobile app or online (look for Easter yard sign!) or bring a check to the office. We only have 50, so it will be first come, first serve. 
Parkway Hills Women's Ministry is planning a plant swap for the month of May.  If you are currently dividing plants and wondering what to do with the bounty you may have, hang on to it and bring it to our plant swap!  If you are not blessed with a green thumb, don't worry, you can do like Pastor Dawn will do and just buy a plant to bring.  See Chere Peel if you have questions. More info to come on this gathering and other women's ministry opportunities.
