Let Us Worship Together
Join us for worship on Facebook Live this Sunday at 10am (or watch it later). http://Facebook.com/ParkwayUnitedChurchOfChrist

We will celebrate the sacrament of communion with you in your home. Please gather the elements – bread or cracker, juice or wine … or whatever you will use as a symbol of Christ’s presence, nurture, sustenance.
We will take a look at Matthew 18:15-33 and Romans 13:8-14a where we are reminded about some of the purposes and mission of the church! Our sermon is entitled The Case for Church Now.

If a train station is where the train stops, and a bus station is where the bus stops, what is a work station?
Inspiration
In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again. ~Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl
Month of Grace + Prayer

September 13, 1:00 pm

Pray on your own 20 minutes each day and meet one-on-one with a spiritual companion one hour each week for four consecutive weeks. Starts September 13. All meetings will be virtual (Zoom or phone if you prefer). Weekly meeting times set around your schedule. This is an individually directed retreat tailored to your own deep desires. Committed couples also have the option to participate as a couple. The spiritual companions are not members of our church nor can companion anyone they know. All adults are welcome regardless of denomination or affiliation. For more information, visit www.momentsofgraceandprayer.org and to register contact Clarence Heller at [email protected].
Habitat For Humanity Matching Grant

With 10 Days and $15,000 to go, we need your help! Time is running out to make your donation go twice as far!

When two anonymous individual donors challenged Habitat Saint Louis to raise $40,000 - which they pledged to match dollar for dollar - we jumped at the opportunity! Imagine how much good we can do with a total of $80,000 to build affordable homes in St. Louis.

Safe, affordable housing has never been more important than it is right now, and Habitat Saint Louis is working hard to create opportunities for low-income families right here in St. Louis to buy their first home.

With just 10 days left until the end of the challenge grant, we still need to raise $15,000 to take full advantage of this opportunity. Any gift you can send today will help us reach this goal! Please click on this link to make an online donation before August 31st.

And if you prefer to give by mail, please remember that your gift must be made to our local office at 3830 South Grand Avenue in order to be matched. Every dollar you send to our local affiliate stays right here in St. Louis.

Thank you for sharing our vision of a community made better through affordable housing. I wish you and those you love continuing safety, health and peace in the days and weeks to come.

Sincerely,
Kimberly McKinney
Chief Executive Officer

P.S. Remember - in order for your gift to count toward our challenge grant and to stay 100% in St. Louis, you must make your gift to our local affiliate at 3830 South Grand Blvd, or online at habitatSTL.org. Thank you so much for supporting local builds and local families!
