Renewing our support of Corpus Christi Metro Ministries

Help contribute to our sponsorship gift for the 2020 Poor Man's Supper.
 
"It is the mission of Corpus Christi Metro Ministries to help create a community that is free from hunger and homelessness by Feeding (the mind, body, and spirit), Sheltering, and Transforming Lives."
 
With other church communities, Parkway Presbyterian Church began participation as a member congregation of Corpus Christi Metro Ministries Board in 1983 when it became recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization. Sue Dyke and Judy Liljestrand served as our first representatives.
 
Now, perhaps more than ever, our community needs the efforts of Corpus Christi Metro Ministries. The Parkway Presbyterian Church community of faith can continue to support and to strengthen our support of the vital services offered by Metro Ministries.
 
Over the next few weeks we will look back at the work of Metro Ministries, and Parkway's role in its efforts.
 
The primary annual fundraiser for Corpus Christi Metro Ministries, the Poor Man's Supper, will be held on November 12th, 2020 with in-person and virtual attendance options.
 
The exciting part is that Parkway is playing a key role this year. Parkway is serving as a sponsor of the event. Will you help contribute to our sponsorship gift? Our goal is $5,000. You can support this event and the work of Metro Ministries right now by making a donation through Parkway's website.

      
Live-Streaming Worship
 
If you haven't done so already, join us for worship on Sunday mornings at 11:00 on the Facebook page for Parkway Presbyterian Church (and not the one in Metairie, LA, Roslindale, MA or Cummings, GA)! The broadcast is live from our sanctuary! Click here for the link.
 
Having said that, we are working to improve the quality of your experience as you watch from home. There is still some of the technical equipment on back-order. Unfortunately, it is not possible to do an artistic and visually pleasing "fade" from one shot to the next. Gregg Fielden is experimenting with additional microphones to better balance the sound quality. Still, for a bunch of amateurs it is a pretty good product.
 
Thanks for joining us digitally and for your patience as we work to improve the worship experience.

Loaves and Fishes (Metro Ministries)
Loaves & Fishes is a free cafeteria that serves nutritious dine-in meals for the homeless, poor, working poor, disabled, and elderly. This program provides lunch and dinner Monday through Friday. Parkway has committed to serving in the soup kitchen every Friday, from 4:45 to 6 pm. A food handler's permit is required and quite easy to obtain. If you would like to participate in this ministry, contact Irene Jones.


All Parkway shifts have been cancelled until further notice. 

Still want to volunteer? Please call Loaves & Fishes at  887-0151, Ext. 242. to let them know you are coming.
Prayer Concerns
If you would like to place a prayer concern onto the prayer chain, please call or text Karen Wesson at 361-815-2099, or send an e-mail to klwesson@stx.rr.com. If you are not currently receiving the prayer chain emails (or your email address has changed) and wish to participate in lifting up concerns of the congregation, you may add yourself to the distribution list by going to your Realm account at www.parkwaypc.org.
