Rainy August

Which Weather Do You Like Best?

Fall is Coming!

This fall as we engage in worship together, we will think deeply about our call as disciples of Jesus Christ. What does it mean to be a disciple? How does it look? How do I invite others into a life of discipleship? “Disciple Like Jesus: Making Disciples Like Jesus Who Make Disciples Like Jesus” by Phil Maynard and Eddie Pipkin will guide our worship and time of discussion. The staff and leadership team at Parkway Hills is reading through this book and we invite our church family to read alongside us. We have a link to a FREE electronic version of the book or you may order a hard copy from your favorite bookseller.

We will offer two nights this fall for discussion and sharing around what we have read, heard, and learned, Wednesday, September 28 and Wednesday, October 26 @ 6:30. We are part of a global church whose stated mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We believe Jesus made a difference in our world and we believe as disciples of Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we, too, can make a difference in our world. May we indeed follow in the footsteps of Jesus welcoming, growing, serving, and celebrating as disciples of Jesus Christ. May we live into the words we sing each and every Sunday, living to be more like Jesus, this is our call. I hope to see you each Sunday in worship, and I hope you will reach out and invite someone into this journey of faith with us. If you need to miss, remember, you can always engage in worship and give online.
