First -- There are TWO MORE SUNDAYS in our School Supply Drive, supporting the students of families of Fort Bend Hope. 

A huge thank you to all who have put some extra supplies in your cart AND all who have given cash so that we can shop for you.

We will still accept supplies and cash donations through the next two Sundays. Don't miss your chance to be a part of helping all students start the school year with everything they need for success! Please click HERE to make a monetary donation.

Next -- on Thursday, August 3rd, our Women's Ministry will host an event at Brahman Winery.

Ladies of Parkway! Let’s mix and mingle with a Ladies Night Out before the back to school rush begins! You are invited to join us at Braman Winery on August 3rd at 6:30 pm! This is just a casual hang out for old friends and new! As always, please feel free to bring a friend! Braman Winery typically has a food truck with pizzas if you plan to eat dinner there! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Andrea Rhodes at 361-676-3474 or andreajohn2047@gmail.com! No RSVP needed!

Coming up -- you may have heard me say it in worship, but I'll say it again -- 

on Sunday, August 6^th there will only be ONE SERVICE at 10.30am. Bishop Cynthia Fierro Harvey, Bishop of the Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church will be in-person at Parkway to help lead worship, Communion, and the baptism of my daughter Maggie. After worship, we will host a reception welcoming Bishop Harvey in the Worship Center. 

August 6^th also kicks off an exciting 5-weeks of worship that combines ancient, traditional, and modern worship and a sermon series designed to help Parkway look ahead to what comes next. 

One of the changes for this new series is that we will serve Holy Communion each week instead of only on the first of the month. If you are willing to help serve Communion over the next 5 weeks, please click HERE to let us know! If you've never served Communion before, that's ok! We will make sure you are ready!

The next Sunday, August 13th -- we will be back to 9am and 10.30am worship AND we will throw our annual Back to School Bash after 10.30 worship on Sunday, August 13th. Stay after for pizza, separate water slides for little and older kids, and an ice cream sundae bar. Invite your friends and neighbors to come be a part of worship and stay after for Back to School Bash!

Finally -- Our week for supporting Family Promise is coming up August 13^th - 20th. Family Promise is a non-profit that supports families transitioning from homelessness or unstable housing to more stable, permanent housing. 

We help several times a year by cooking dinners for the families working towards better housing and a better future for themselves and their children. If you, your small group, or a group of friends are willing and able to provide one of those dinners, please reach out to the church office or Audrey at audreyivester@yahoo.com.
