Pastor's Update

Hi Parkway People!


We are in all-hands-on-deck mode getting ready for Block Party @ Parkway on April 13th! 

Months ago, staff made a decision to broaden our focus and goals beyond egg hunts and games. This year we are focusing on building community among the people and neighborhoods of this area. You'll still recognize the bounce houses and games, but this year we're excited to make room for community groups, small businesses, non-profits, and more! It's a way we're trying to use our resources to build connections in a disconnected world. 


If you believe in that work, please help us make it happen! If you've not yet signed up to take a shift, you can do that here -https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0444AAAB2DA7FB6-48392567-block#/


One more thing you can do to help us get the word out this week – If you go to our event page on Facebook, mark that you're attending, and share, Facebook's algorithm will get this event in front of more people.


Looking past the Block Party, there are two more events to mark on your calendars and to think about how you can plug in.
