The goal of the Women's Ministry at Parkway Hills UMC is to provide opportunities for creating community for the women of the church as well as reflect on what the women of the church can offer the Madison County community. All are welcome to come and join in the conversation, offer ideas, or just listen. Can't make the meeting but have ideas of how to create community or serve our community? Email Pastor Dawn.

It's that time of year!
Worship on the Lawn/Trick or Treat Trail/Chili Cookoff October 25
If you've been here at PHUMC for a year or longer, you're familiar with the excitement on the day of our Worship on the Lawn, the fun of the Trick or Treat Trail, and the extreme competitiveness of our Chili Cookoff.
That morning will begin with Sunday morning small groups at 9:30 and Worship on the Lawn at 10:45. Bring a chair. We will not livestream this service.
At 5:00 pm, children will delight in the activities on the Trail led by Youth and Bridgers while enjoying a little (ok, maybe a lot of) candy. All in costumes! We are accepting candy donations for this event. There will be marked bins in the foyers for the bags of candy.
Then everyone gets to partake of our Chili Cookoff, a very competitive event that results in a charity benefiting the winnings of the top-voted recipe and chef. Past winners have included Joe Williams, 2021, for Webster Animal Shelter; David White, 2022, for Mississippi Children's Homes; Drew and Taylor Pruett, 2023, for PHUMC Beds for Kids Ministry; Branden Henry, 2024, for Madison Young Life; and Branden Henry 2025, Grant Me Justice.
We need chili cookers! Click here to sign up to bring a crockpot of chili. That's all there is to it (except for your skill as a chef). So far, there have been no chili leftovers!
Come, wear your costumes, eat some chili, and vote for your favorite.
