Join us beginning January 18th for a 3 part sermon series on the importance of covenant. What’s expected from us as members of Parkwood United Methodist Church? What is PUMC doing to encourage our growth and equip us to meet those expectations? What can God do for this community through our relationship with God and each other in covenant? We’ll wrestle with these questions and more together before welcoming some new members into our fold during worship on February 1st.
Our sermon series for October is based on Paul’s letter to the Philippians. If you want to learn what it means to be perfect, read ahead and join us each Sunday for the following sermons:
October 12th: “Like Minded” Philippians 2:1-13
October 19th: “Losing to Find” Philippians 3:4b-14
October 26th: “Perfection: The Big Picture” Philippians 4:1-9
Join us at Parkwood UMC for worship on Sunday morning. Pastor Nathan is presenting a sermon series called “Jesus at the Movies.”
The new directory is coming! As has been announced during Worship several times, we are working on producing a new photo directory. Our target date for distribution is October 12 so we need to get to work quickly.
There will be photo sessions each Sunday from August 17 through September 14 and we are hoping everyone will have their family photos added to our directory. Sign-up sheets for sittings will be posted on August 3; please sign up early so that you can have your ideal time slot selected.
Is a Sunday afternoon not convenient for you? Are these particular Sundays not convenient? Please contact one of our photographers to arrange for an alternate time. The photographers will be Ron Byrd, Laura Denny, and Linnie Skidmore. We will provide more information at the time of your sitting about how to purchase photos and what costs will be involved. Also if you have photos taken at several of our events or during our activities over the past year or so, feel free to send them to Margaret Eiland or Bob Newlin so that they can be added to our photo directory.

There will be two opportunities to participate in our Lenten study, Listen: Praying in a Noisy World.
We live in a world of noise. Everywhere we go, we hear sounds that compete for our minds and hearts. Listening to God requires a deliberate choice to shut out the chaos around us and focus our thoughts.
Listen, by Rueben P. Job, is a 40-day experience created to offer help to those new to prayer, those with a daily prayer routine, and those whose lives seem too busy to pray. With a focus on listening prayer and prayer as a two-way conversation, the experience will assist individuals and groups in building and deepening a personal prayer practice and spiritual discernment.
As we learn to listen, we find a new depth and fulfillment in our relationship with God and a new experience of God as guide and companion in our lives. The daily prayer pattern includes an invitation, silence, Bible reading, a story, guided time for reflecting and listening, and practical help for developing six specific prayer practices.
There will be two opportunities to attend our new Advent study, Finding Bethlehem in the Midst of Bedlam. The first, an evening study, begins on Tuesday, November 26th at 7pm. It will meet for four sessions (two chapters will be covered during the last session) and will conclude on Tuesday, December 17th. The second opportunity will be five sessions and take place each Sunday morning during Sunday school from December 1st until December 29th.
“Christmas or confusion, Bethlehem or bedlam . . . Which will you choose this year? The truth is, we don’t have to choose, because Christmas always happens right in the midst of our confusion. God breaks into our confusion and is made known in Jesus Christ. Christmas and confusion–weren’t they intimately related at the first Christmas when Jesus was born? Sometimes we forget that. But, that’s what this study is about–how Christ breaks into our chaos and confusion and brings Christmas–how Bethlehem always happens in the midst of bedlam. This thematic Advent study for 2013 has five sessions–one for each Sunday of Advent and one for Christmas.
Each chapter includes questions for reflection and discussion, a brief prayer, a focus for the week, and six daily Bible readings for personal devotional time during the week.”
