A number of PUCCers have volunteered with this MEAL PACKING ministry in the past. This time, it is spread over three days. A couple of PUCCers are wondering if anyone would like to join them and enjoy their company as they serve. If you have/will sign up, please let me know and we will try to make some connections. kevin@parkwayucc.org

Worship with Us this Sunday

September 11, 2022 | 10:00am In-person and Facebook Live or later

Our scripture lesson, shared in two different translations, is Luke 15:1-10 ... the story Jesus tells about the lost sheep and the lost coin. There is seeking, finding and celebrating! These stories pave the way for the very human story of the prodigal son who asks for early inheritance and then wastes it all partying... when he wakes up to what is unfolding, he goes home.... and there is more seeking, finding and celebrating!

St Louis County is now at CDC Medium risk meaning masking is recommended for those who have tested positive or are in high-risk populations. Therefore, we are changing our recommendations beginning September 11.

Please participate in worship virtually via our livestream on Facebook if you have tested positive for Covid in the last 5 days.

Masks should be worn and respected for in-person worship under the following conditions:

1) You have tested positive for COVID 6-10 days ago and you still have symptoms;

2) You are in a high-risk group and/or have underlying conditions;

3) You are more comfortable wearing a mask.
