PHUMC Youth Volunteer at Grace Place

Emmy Pruett and Ellen Jones served along side adult volunteers Geoff Davidson and Amanda Hamilton this morning at Grace Place Homeless Ministry, downtown Jackson, Galloway UMC. Not pictured are adult volunteers Juliet Huam, Joe Williams, John Reed, Jeannie Chunn, Bob Chunn and Jerry Sandlin. PHUMC Volunteers go to serve at Grace Place on the first and third Wednesday of each month. They leave the PHUMC parking lot to carpool at 7:00 am.
Sunday, June 25th will be a special
Lay-Led Service,
and we encourage everyone to make plans to attend. It will be a little more informal, so we will not be livestreaming the service. We will sit at tables, share coffee and donuts, let you choose your favorite hymns, worship, and reflect on how we are the church together. If you would like to help lead in this special service, contact John Reed or Drew Pruett
Last week our VBS Kids participated in our Raise the Roof $60,000.00 challenge and set a goal of $300 to match what is being asked of our members. They raised $325.00, and that amount has been matched by a donor in honor of all the VBS Volunteers, bringing the VBS total to $650.00. Let’s join our kids in Raising the Roof at Parkway Hills UMC!

Parkway Hills is a United Methodist congregation committed to being a place for everyone, so we want to pay particular attention to inviting members of our community who may have been affected by church disaffiliations or those who simply are looking for a safe place to worship. How can you help? Invite your friends to church, and share this welcome video that has beenposted across Parkway Hills' Facebook and Instagram. Your voice matters in welcoming our community!
