We have moved into a new season and a new month and there is a lot to celebrate at Parkway Hills. Pull out your calendar and mark these upcoming events.
Tonight, Wednesday, October 4: Meal at 5:45 (Hamburgers) and the Wisdom of Counseling with Dr. Branden Henry. How do we heal from hurts, hangups, and even addiction? Branden will discuss his personal and professional journey through counseling and how it can lead to freedom and wholeness. Bridge and Youth will remain in the Worship Center. Kids will go to the Garden Room for mission night.
Sunday, October 8-Monday, October 9: Youth Fall Retreat at Roosevelt State Park.
Wednesday, October 11: No Wednesday night meal. Leadership Board will meet in the Garden Room at 6:20.

Wednesday, October 18: Meal at 5:45 followed by activities at 6:20. Adults: Things Hidden by Richard Rohr book club in the Worship Center and Beds for Kids in the basement. Youth: homework night. Bridge: Beds for Kids. Kids: Science Night.
Thursday, October 19, 5:00 to 8:00 pm: Scarecrow Festival at Liberty Park. Leadership at Parkway Hills set two goals as part of our next faithful steps as church. One, tell our story. Two, be a presence in our community. Our first community event is the Scarecrow Festival. We will have an axe-throwing booth (it’s foam!), candy, and Parkway Hills info. We need volunteers to put on their Parkway Hills t-shirt and work an hour slot. Sign up to volunteer here.
Sunday, October 22, 10:45 am: Worship on the Lawn. Bring a chair, sunglasses, and maybe an umbrella to aid with the sun, and join us on our beautiful campus to enjoy worship in creation. This would be a great Sunday to invite a friend. We will not livestream this service.
Sunday, October 22, 5:00 to 7:00 pm: Trick or Treat Trail and Chili Cook-off. Our evening will look a little bit different this year. The Trick or Treat Trail will begin at 5:00 with games and candy led by our Youth and Bridge students. Meal begins at 6:00. Bring a chair, come as you are or in costume, and enjoy an evening of fellowship and fun.
Wednesday, October 25: The plan is a fire pit night at 5:45, but we need lots of rain for that to happen. Stay tuned!
Sunday, November 5, 3:00 pm: Joint Charge Conference for the East and West Jackson Districts at St. Mark’s UMC, Brandon.
*We need candy for the Scarecrow Festival and the Trick or Treat Trail.
Bins are located in the foyer of both buildings.

Pop-up Book Club Wednesday, October 18 at 6:20 pm following our evening meal. As we reflect on the wisdom of Scripture, you're invited to get a copy and read Things Hidden: Scripture as Spirituality by Richard Rohr, and join us for a discussion Wednesday, Oct. 18 at 6:20 following our Re:treat meal. Things Hidden is available on Amazon.
