Worship with Us this Sunday

June 5, 2022 | 10:00am In-person and Facebook Live… later YouTube (if possible)

It’s Pentecost – 50 days after Easter. The disciples/apostles and other faithful Jews from all over are celebrating Shavuot (the Feast of Weeks – 7 weeks since Passover) -- the festival of the first wheat harvest of the year.

It was at this time that the Holy Spirit that Jesus had been promising arrives. The Spirit blows into the city and astonishing things happen.

We will hear the story from Acts 2.

Please consider wearing RED – the color of the Holy Spirit.

We will gather at the communion table to receive the nurture, encouragement, wisdom and grace of Jesus. It is an ‘open table’ – ALL are invited.

It’s a Give-A-Meal Sunday so please consider bringing gifts of non-perishable food items and/or personal care items for our neighbors.

Long time Parkway UCC member,  Naomi Runtz, will be included in Return to the Opera—an exhibition by The Sharp Shooters Photography Collective at the Union Avenue Christian Church, 733 Union Blvd, St. Louis. For those attending the operas, the gallery will be open during the performances.

An Opening Reception for the artists will be on SUNDAY, JULY 10 FROM 12:30 TO 3:00 P.M. Parking is behind the church.
