All hands on deck for Parkway Hills’ Day of Service Saturday, June 10! 

Join with your church family to serve by aiding our church or our community. See you Saturday morning to grab a doughnut and some coffee, fellowship a bit, and get to work! We will have water available. We have various opportunities to serve. You may sign up here or via the clipboard in the back of the worship center. If you signed the clipboard, your name will be added to the online list. Youth may attend as long as they are accompanied by a parent/guardian. Youth must be 16 or older and accompanied by a parent/guardian to work at the Habitat build.

Captial Area Habitat for Humanity's 2023 Faith Build is currently undeway. The home, located at 4663 Estelle Drive in Jackson, will house Latonia Blackmon and her 5 children (ages 16, 14, 12, 10, and 8), allowing her to move from a 3 bedroom apartment where she pays $1,200 a month in rent to a 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath home for $500-600 a month. All of this is possible because of monetary and building efforts of area churches. Our May Communion Offering will go toward the Habitat Faith Build. Thank you to all who have already given. We are still in need of volunteers for our work day, June 10.
