Welcome Grow Serve Celebrate

Sunday, December 31 we will gather at 10:00 am for a service of carols and lessons. Join us for coffee and donuts as we continue to celebrate the Christmas season and the gift of Emmanuel, God with us. Sunday School will not meet.

Worship during the Christmas season is always very meaningful, and we need your help to create inviting worship experiences. We know the Christmas season is always very busy and many are traveling or visiting family. We need readers for our New Year's Eve worship at 10 am. If you will be in attendance for our New Year's Eve Carols and Lessons service, click here to signup to participate. Thank you for your willingness to aid others in experiencing Christ in community this Christmas season.

Church office closes at 1:00 pm Tuesday, Dec. 26-Thursday, Dec. 28.

We hope worship at Parkway Hills this Advent and Christmas season aids you in reflecting on the gift of Emmanuel, God with us, and we look forward to our continued worship together.

Your PHUMC Staff

Laundry help needed: Jan Brister for many years at the end of each semester has collected unclaimed coats from the lost and found table of her elementary school. She takes the bags of coats, sorts them by size, and launders them to be delivered to East Flora Elementary School. Last year we also delivered coats to the Hispanic Ministry of FUMC of Morton. This year we are asking for volunteers to share the laundry load with Jan. She will be washing one bag of the coats and needs three more people to wash one of the medium, large and extra large bags.

We've collected 238 jars of peanut butter for MadCAAP since August. We are almost halfway to our goal of 500 jars. Thanks to all who donated peanut butter.

We will not have Sunday School Dec. 31, due to the holidays.Thanks for all the volunteers that help make our Sunday School activites happen. If you're interested in aiding with our Children's Ministry, please click this link to volunteer.
