Welcome Grow Serve Celebrate
| |
Summer is here and we are excited about the upcoming worship opportunities at Parkway Hills! Throughout the month of June we will use the themes from Vacation Bible School, “Operation Restoration,” to shape Sunday morning worship. Each week we will look at a story of Jesus and listen for the ways Jesus invites us to join him in mending God’s world. Beginning July 2 we invite everyone to join us for “The Great Church Chill Out” using the Psalms to help us remember that we were not created to be anxious creatures, but to rejoice, revel, and rest in God’s good creation. Our prayer is that summer may be a time of rest, renewal and fun for you, and that worship each week will provide space to rest and renew in community and in the presence of God. Don’t forget, if you are out and about this summer, you can still engage in worship online @parkwayhillsumc.online.church and you can support the mission and ministry of our church by giving online parkwayhillsumc.org/give or via our Vanco mobile app. We look forward to this summer season within the life of our church. It would be a great time to invite a friend to join us!
Here's a sneak peek at the themes for worship:
June 4: Heal/Luke 13:10-17
June 11: Forgive/Matthew 18:21-35
June 18: Pray/Luke 11:1-4
June 25: Lay Led Worship

Bishop Sharma Lewis has invited all churches to engage in a lay-led worship service Sunday, June 25 and to allow their clergy to have a Sabbath Sunday before Annual Conference begins the following week. If you have ever wanted to be part of the worship planning process, now is your turn! Join Pastor Dawn and members of PHUMC for lunch Wednesday, June 7 @ 11:30 @ Newk's on Highland Colony to plan and pray about this day.

Capital Area Habitat for Humanity's 2023 Faith Build is currently underway. 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.
