PARKWAY YOUTH GROUPS

The ministry of Parkway UCC greatly values and affirms the contributions of our youth! Middle and Senior High members serve as lay readers, ushers, or greeters during worship. Some youth also choose to participate in drama presentations, instrumental and vocal ensembles.

Besides being a part of whole church activities, both the Middle and Senior High Groups gather for activities on their own. A balance of fun, faith, and service activities are planned. [The summer mission trips are always a highlight each year.] Watch the newsletter and bulletin for when such events occur. The youth do their own fund-raising to support these activities.

FRIENDSHIP DINNERS

These dinners for members and friends, take place at a variety of times throughout the year. We dine at people’s homes or at local restaurants. Both family friendly and adults-only dinners are scheduled. This is an invaluable way for people to get to know one another!

WOMEN’S FELLOWSHIP

The Women’s Fellowship Quilters & Crafters meet every Tuesday. The time schedule is flexible, some arriving early in the morning and others staying later in the afternoon.

Successful apple butter sales have been held the past several years. The proceeds have been used to help finance projects for the physical plant, as well as the operating fund and benevolences.

AWOL – Adventurous Women Out Late

This group gathers once each month for a night out! These ladies have gone to the movies, live theatre, art show openings, and out to dinner.

MEN’S BREAKFAST GROUP

The men have breakfast on the third Wednesday morning of each month at 7:30 a.m. in the Heritage Room. The group shares in faith building discussion and also engages in service projects. Any man is welcome.

PUCC FAMILY FUN

This is for all of us, whether we are one of those wife – husband – 2.2 kids and a dog families or not … because we are a church family. We meet monthly – sometimes for a picnic in the park, a day at the zoo, bowling or make-your-own-sundaes at the church. Join us!

EVENING DIALOGUE

Evening Dialogue meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month from 6-8pm in the Heritage Room. A pot-luck meal is followed by sharing time for spiritual nurture. Come join this lively bunch of 'readers and eaters' for a potluck dinner in the Heritage Room beginning at 6:00pm on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday each month. No reservations necessary, just bring a dish to pass (entree, salad, dessert) and enjoy the fellowship, and the exchange of ideas about the current book and a variety of other topics.  

PUCC TWENTY-SOMETHINGS

This group is for all Parkway members and friends between the ages of 20 and 29. (Ages 19 and 30 count, too!) We gather to make friends, socialize, and try new things. We’ve gone to St. Louis Bread Company, had a game night, and had a pizza and movie night and more events are in the works! Please come and join us!

SECOND SATURDAY CINEMA

Do you enjoy going to the movies? A new group at Parkway that attends movies on the second Saturday of each month. You are invited to come any time. Join us for fun, good movies, and fellowship.

PARKWAY PAPER CRAFTERS

The Parkway Paper Crafters meet the 3rd Monday of each month in the Heritage Room from 5:30-10:30pm. We welcome anyone regardless of crafting experience to this new group! Basic tools are available to borrow and snacks are

provided. Please bring your own beverage with a lid.

PUCC PLAY GROUP

Come play with us! In 2008 we will meet once each month (on the 2nd Friday) from 10:00 -11:30 a.m. at the church. We’ll have treats, crafts, games and lots of fun. Feel free to bring friends, neighbors, visiting relatives, etc.

PUCC BRIDGE GROUP

Like to play Bridge? Join this group for fun, playing Bridge, and fellowship.

GIFT – Getting Interracial Families Together

GIFT was created as an informal sharing and support community for interracial families of all types. GIFT’s primary goal is to build relationships among families who have a unique understanding of the joys and challenges of loving and living with people who are of a different race than themselves. As we socalize, we all benefit from new friendships with families who are like ours, with whom we can ask questions, tell stories and share advice. We welcome couples and families of all ethnic mixes who are interracial by birth, marriage, or adoption.
