What a priviledge to host 80 new Cub Scouts and their families for their very first cookout of the year!  That's right, we had over 200 people enjoying our PHUMC campus Sunday afternoon. A big thank you goes out to Pack 164's Cubmaster Kevin Weber, as well as to Chris Gibbs, Rick Kolar, Terry Pollard, and all the other Parkway Hills families who work so hard to be good examples and to provide an excellent scouting program for these young boys.
Job well done!

Kairos Team #37 had a great first training meeting preparing for their CMCF event October 4th through the 7th. (They have 4 more sessions planned.) Their goal is to create and sustain a strong, supportive Christian community within the prison.  Marilyn Katz, representing Kairos #37, asks each of us to CLICK ON THIS PRAYER VIGIL SIGN-UP SHEET; choose a 30-minute time slot, and commit to praying for these women!  The team will create an actual prayer "chain" that the inmates will be able to look at anytime of the day or night and know that someone cares enough to be praying for them at that moment. Your pledge to pray will remind someone in prison that God has not forsaken them, but is present and loves them.  Sign up today!

Men's Clothing Drive
We are collecting new and gently worn men's clothing for the month of September. These will stock the clothing closet of Grace Place in Jackson. Drop off your donations at any time this month, and Aubrey Leigh Goodwin will deliver them for you!  All items will be accepted, but they are in constant need of pants, shoes, XL shirts, hats and backpacks.
