How you can Pray for the church and committee.
We invite everyone who cares about Parkhills to join us in prayer, because we believe prayer is our way forward.
Our Pastor Transition Prayer Guide is now available through the link below. This Prayer Guide encourages focused prayer during this season of transition by offering a weekly focus and daily prayer prompts. Start anytime and go at your own pace. Bookmark it or print it off and put a copy in your car, tape one to your bathroom mirror or refrigerator door, or tack one up in your workspace. It’s a great tool for uniting in prayer with other members of the Parkhills family.
Through prayer, everyone can be a part of what God is doing at Parkhills!
