Welcome Grow Serve Celebrate

June 4, 2025

The 2025 Session of the Mississippi Annual Conference: June 4-7 at Millsaps College. Be in prayer for the United Methodists across our state and for our delegates Rev. Dawn Douglas Flowers, Rev. Haven Boyd, Brandon Jones, and Mary Lee Reed as they attend this important gathering that begins today in Jackson.

Day of Service Saturday, June 14
Serve is one of the core values of Parkway Hills, and we begin every worship by claiming we are a mission-minded congregation. We do a great job living into this vision with our various ministries. Saturday, June 14, we will offer a Church-Wide Day of Service, giving everyone another opportunity to serve, and we hope you find a way to plug in. The day will focus on ways to serve the church as well as our local community. You may sign up here or via the clipboard in the back of the Worship Center. Opportunities include: Habitat Faith Build (10 volunteers for the morning shift), aiding Pastor Haven with VBS Decorating, Big House Books, and church building and grounds to include cleaning out the basement and cleaning up the firepit area. You will hear a little about each project in worship in the coming weeks.

Registration is live for Waves of Wonder VBS here at Parkway Hills UMC. If your child is entering Kindergarten through 6th grade, they are invited to join the fun! VBS will be Sunday, June 15 - Wednesday, June 18 from 5:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Through exciting crafts, experiments, games, and music, your child will dive into the wonderful stories of water throughout the Bible. Sign up by clicking this link. For more information, contact Haven.
Wednesday, June 18 will be a church-wide VBS celebration event. All are welcome to attend. There will be hamburger/hot dog meal, and we will have water activities for all ages.

Volunteer for our Waves of Wonder VBS this summer! Click the link to sign up to volunteer. Our adult in-person volunteer meeting will be Sunday, June 1st following the worship service. A lite lunch will be provided. Youth will have their own training that evening. A background check will be required for all volunteers in children and youth ministries.

New Sunday School Curriculum
From Sparkhouse, a new curriculum “think.believe.do. Mission,” explores the role and meaning of mission in the life of faith. A great discussion starter as some of our youth prepare to serve in Kentucky this summer.

Wednesday, June 11: Youth Grace Place Day. Meet at PHUMC at 7:00 am to carpool. We will aid with worship and the meal service then move upstairs to work in the clothes closet. Bring money for lunch. Let Pastor Dawn know if you need a ride to and from Parkway Hills.

Day of Service: Saturday, June 14: Mark your calendar and sign up for a way to serve your church or your community. Habitat volunteers must be 16 or older and have a parental consent form. All other volunteer opportunities are open to all ages. Sign up here.
