Youth Pancake Brunch - October 13th
Hunger is everybody's business. Did you know that 925 million people around the world do not have enough to eat? The good news is that there is enough food in the world today so that all can have the nourishment they need for productive and healthy lives. With our financial support Church World Service (CWS) is able to help get food to those who need it the most.
Help the youth raise funds for CWS by coming to eat brunch on October 13. After worship, come over to Fellowship Hall for a meal of pancakes and all the fixin's prepared by our youth. The brunch is FREE, but donations are welcome. Please, join us in support of fighting local, national, and world hunger.

Funding Ministry for 2020
Grateful Hearts, Generous Lives invites your support for the mission and ministry of Parkway Presbyterian Church for 2020. Over the next four weeks you will hear about the impact our ministry has on individual members, the Corpus Christi community, and the larger world.
Generosity begins in gratefulness. When Jesus visits Zacchaeus, Zacchaeus makes a promise: "Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much." (Luke 19:8) His generous offer rested on the foundation of gratitude for Jesus' visit.
On many university campuses there are buildings named for benefactors. The motivation often is gratitude for the education that the donor received from the institution.
Giving to support the mission and ministry of the church is rooted in your sense of gratitude for all that God has given to you. If you have a grateful heart you will live a generous life.
Please prayerfully consider increasing your pledge to the church by 1% of your household income. The Session has a goal to increase Parkway's mission giving by 1% of the budget, from the current 11% to 12%.
Watch your mail, the newsletter, and e-mail for additional information about this campaign for 2020. Pledges will be received in worship and dedicated to God on November 10.
