Worship with us this Sunday!



 
Join us this Sunday for Traditional Worship at 9:30am and/or Informal Worship at 11:00am where our scriptures are Deuteronomy 15:7-11 and Mark 10:17-27 with a sermon entitled Possess Less. We hear the call to simplify...Jesus talks about the camel through the eye of the needle and we meet the man that did not want to give away his possessions or make the lives of the poor easier. What about you and the needle, your possessions and the poor?

The October issue of Intersections is now available. This month's edition focuses on health and spotlights the Ronald McDonald House charity. Read about all the latest happenings at Parkway, including our many upcoming community events.
