PHUMC Women's Ministry spring project will provide Welcome Wagon baskets to every child who arrives at Methodist Children's Home. We have created a Signup Genius you can access by clicking here with a list of needed items. Purchased items may be placed in the bins in the foyer of either building by the end of May and online purchases may be shipped to Pastor Dawn's home. You may also give monetary gifts to our May communion offering, to date totaling $1,167.
Let's CELEBRATE the teachers and staff at East Flora Elementary School.  Parkway Hills will feed the teachers and staff lunch Wednesday, May 25. Let Pastor Dawn know if you are available to help. 
Send in your questions for the June Worship Series here.
Our June summer worship series  “I’ve Got a Question,” will give us space to discuss some of our own questions about faith, God, scripture, and the church.  If you’ve got a question, and you know you do, get them to us by May 29th.  Then, join us for worship in June as a panel each Sunday dives into our questions. Worship will look and feel mostly the same. I look forward to this time of worship and to muddling through the messiness of faith together.
