Pastor's Update

Hi Parkway!

 

Next Sunday kicks off the season of Advent -- a few weeks where followers of Jesus practice waiting and preparing to celebrate the birth of Christ on Christmas. Thanks to a big crew of people who stuck around after the 10.30 service on Sunday, our trees, lights and wreaths are up! We look ready to step into Advent!

 

Advent is also a time where we have the chance to welcome new people and families to Parkway. Our goal in all seasons is to be a church where anyone can walk through the doors and feel welcome, and to keep living up to that goal during Advent we need people who are willing to be a part of the hospitality crew.

 

If you're willing to join the hospitality crew during the Advent season -- welcome people, give out bulletins, help families find the nursery, or help us reset between services -- please send a quick email to Debbie Mullen ([email protected]) to let her know you can help. She'll get you connected with our sign-up system so you can find the time that works for you.

 

One last Reminder for this week

Our final MidWeek Ministries will be this Wednesday, November 29th at 6pm. Instead of breaking out into classes, we will all have a meal together! Parkway will provide brisket, sausage, and chicken from Witt Pitt BBQ in Rosenberg. If you can bring a side or a dessert to share, we should have more than enough for everyone!


A few things to keep in mind for next Sunday, December 3rd:

Throughout the whole month of December, there will be one Sunday morning service at 10.30am. 

(The only exception is Christmas Eve -- there will be NO morning services. Parkway will have 3 Christmas Eve services at 5pm, 7pm, and 11pm)

This Sunday (December 3rd) Parkway Children's Day School Choir will be here to lead a few songs of the season! 

 

One of the ways we'd like to welcome both Advent and our Day School families is to have some Christmas cookies after the service. If you'd be willing to make a batch of Christmas cookies to bring and share, let us know by using this quick form so we can have enough for everyone! (https://www.fellowshiponegiving.com/App/Form/03074cde-9dc5-4de1-86a9-79d3c91255ef)

I'm so looking forward to kicking off Advent and sharing in this special season with you. See y'all soon!
