Good Morning
Park Avenue Family!

Welcome to Park Avenue and thank you for choosing to worship with us this morning! Take a moment to read the announcements and upcoming events below.

Events & Announcements

Update Your Information

Over the last several years, the leadership of Park Avenue UMC has made it a priority to inform and update our congregation on the evolving situation over the theological divide that will likely result in a split of our denomination. As we continue to follow these events, we want to be sure to do two things: 1) keep you up to do on developments, and 2) seek your input regarding potential changes regarding our denomination.

The best way to assure that you receive this information is by updating your profile at myPAUMC.com, Park Avenue’s database system and online community.

Please login to myPAUMC.com with your username and password, or chose the option to Request Account. (You can also reset your password if you've forgotten your credentials.)

If you are unable to do either of the above options, then you may click here to fill out a form where someone on staff will manually enter your information for you.

The Staff and Church Leadership thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep you informed!

All women in our community are invited to join us for worship and teaching at the Going Beyond Simulcast with Priscilla Shirer. We're so excited to be back together for worship so we're offering the Going Beyond simulcast for free! We do ask that you register so we can prepare a seat for you!

Missions News

During the month of September, we will be delivering some "sweet surprises" to some in our congregation. If you like to be the bearer of GOOD news, contact Jamie (parkbone@gmail.com) and let her know you want to help out. We need about 30 volunteers.

If you could help young girls in Africa, would you be interested? If so, come join us on Saturday, August 21st at 9:00am to talk about how. We have an exciting ministry we can do right here in our own church that will have a huge impact on so many!

We have a project at LAMP that will take about 10 people willing to work on a Saturday building a wooden floor that a shed will be assembled on. If you are interested, let Jamie know (parkbone@gmail.com). When we work on this project will be based on the availability of the volunteers who sign up.
