Their Light Still Shines!
Deadline for purchase is 4:00 pm Today, Wednesday, April 1.
Our annual honor/memorial Easter candles help fund our Youth Trip Scholarship Fund to aid our youth in covering the cost of the various trips and retreats throughout the year. Money should never be the reason one of our youth cannot participate. Call Linda today before 4:00 pm to purchase your candle in honor or memory of a loved one. For each name remembered or honored, cost is $10. You can pay via check (mark "Easter Candle" in the memo), online, or via our Vanco mobile app (look for "Easter Candles").

Please sign up to aid with our Easter Worship
We still need ushers, communion servers, and candle lighters for our 8:30 service as well as ushers for our 10:45 service. Easter day is always a wonderful morning of worship and hope within the life of the church. It is a day we see new faces as well as faces we haven't seen in a while. Help us make Easter Sunday welcoming and hospitable for all who attend and please consider joining our 8:30 am worship so that we have plenty of room for those who show up at 10:45. Click here and see how you can aid someone in experiencing God in worship Resurrection Day!

at Parkway Hills
There are numerous ways to walk through Holy Week together. Take a look, mark your calendar, and join your church family as we make our way to Resurrection Morning.
Good Friday, March 3: An Easter Tale at 6:00 pm.
An Easter Tale is a one-act play written and performed by John Maxwell and directed by Cliff Bowen. Imagine the story of what it might have been like for the disciples of Jesus immediately after the crucifixion. In this imaginative tale the disciples come together to meet in the very room where they last shared a meal before leaving for the Garden. Nursery will be provided.

Drop off flowers in the Worship Center kitchen any time between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm Friday, April 3, or no later than 10:00 am Saturday morning.

Sunday, April 12 we will continue to celebrate Easter with worship on the lawn and a youth fundraiser meal. Bring a chair and an umbrella to help with the sun, and dress comfortably for our annual worship on the lawn. We will not livestream this service.
Following worship, our children will plant our zinnia seeds, and then we will join together in the worship center for a meal of hamburgers, baked beans, chips, dessert, and a drink. Tickets for lunch are $15 and you may pay via check/cash (mark "youth fundraiser" in the memo), online by clicking here, or using our Vanco Mobile app. You may also see one of our youth after worship each Sunday. So we can adequately prepare, we ask that you purchase a ticket by Thursday, April 9.

Miracle Sunday is a global, connectional effort to create an endowment for theological education outside the US in Africa, Europe, and the Philippines with the goal of endowing 500 scholarships in perpetuity ensuring that courageous, well-prepared leaders can serve in some of the most challenging missional communities around the world.
Did you know that fewer than 5% of pastors outside the US hold a master’s degree in theology, compared to more than 71% within the US. Or that the US has 13 United Methodist approved seminaries while outside the US, there are 20. Further, the US has 1.2 billion dollars already in endowments and Ministerial Education Funds within these US seminaries. This is a gap we must and can address. Churches participating in Miracle Sunday will provide the funds to educate, equip, and empower pastors, create peace builders around the globe, raise up leaders who will do kingdom work in the midst of world wide politics. This is a sharing of resources to support those called, support the growth of the Christian church, and develop leaders together because no one person can do it alone. Thank you for giving generously.
