Sadly, the Denver Broncos are not in the Super Bowl. However, we will still celebrate by supporting two of our missions.

First, please bring non-perishable food items to the narthex this Sunday, February 8. These will be delivered to Parker Task force to help supply their food bank.

Second, we will also pass around soup pots during the children's message for monetary donations. These donations will support our Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) fund. Funds collected will help cover packing fees for groups, like our youth group, Scouts, and sporting teams. Often groups want to volunteer by helping pack, but don't have the $50 per person packing fee.

Mark your calendars for the FMSC MobilePack on October 2-3, 2026.

Thank you so much!

Join us on Wednesday, February 11 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. for At The Table, our monthly dinner worship experience.  At The Table, we share a meal, conversations about life and faith, and do a mission project together.  

This month's mission project is to pack Manna Bags. 

To sign up to help provide the meal, click here.

To RSVP, email Pastor Cody.

Alright PUMC, it's go time. We’re rallying to pack UMCOR hygiene kits that go straight to disaster survivors across the U.S. and beyond.

Looking for a great place to serve? We need your help! 

We are looking for ushers to serve once a month on Sunday mornings.  Ushers help greet at the Sanctuary doors, hand out bulletins, direct people if they have questions, pass out offering plates, and then help clean up after the service. 

To get more information or to say "YES!" please email Pastor Cody.

Save the date for our annual VBS, Rainforest Falls, June 29 - July 2. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God.

To volunteer or find out more information email Noelle.

This weekly Lenten study offered by the Rev. June Webster begins on Monday, February 9 at PUMC at 12:00 noon in Room 138 and will last for one hour. The class dates are February 9 - March 23, for seven classes in all. 

The study will focus on the book The Last Week: A day-by-day Account of Jesus's Final Week in Jerusalem by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan (2007). Note: the book has an alternate subtitle on some copies: The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach about Jesus's Final Days in Jerusalem.

Please let June know if you are interested in attending or have any questions.

Pastor Laura will lead a study on Adam Hamilton's book, Why Did Jesus Have to Die? The Meaning of the Crucifixion. Join the class on Mondays, February 23 - March 30, at 6 p.m. in room 138.

Please purchase the book on Amazon or Cokesbury or let Pastor Laura know by February 16 if you need her to purchase a copy for you. It took awhile for her to get hers.

You can let Pastor Laura know you are planning to participate. She can also send you the Zoom link should you need to participate virtually.

Like many other churches, Parker UMC has built an endowment fund that assures a flower of funds that will support some of the church's ministries for generations to come. The love and caring of those who have given have provided a basis for a lasting legacy. Your gifts and provisions in your will today and will make a difference for your children and their children, as this church will continue to provide ministries to the Parker community and around the world.

In preparation for Sunday worship, here are questions to consider ahead of time. You can use these in your own devotion time, in conversation with family and friends, or in a small group setting. All are welcome to join one discussion group every Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Room 216 in the church. 

We hope this practice will help you engage with the scriptural texts and sermon at a deeper faith level. 

For February 8 worship:

• This week's sermon: When God Speaks Through Others

• Scripture: Acts 13:1-3, Proverbs 15:22

• Guiding Questions:

1. Acts 13:1-3 shows us how Barnabas and Saul (soon to be called Paul) are chosen by the Holy Spirit "for the work to which I have called them." How did they respond?

2. Read the rest of chapter 13 and consider, what was the work they were called to do? Notice how often the Holy Spirit is referenced. What does it mean that the Holy Spirit plays such a big part of this story? What does it say to you when you consider you might be called as well?

3. Proverbs 15:22 gives important advice. What does this verse say to you? How does it help you understand yourself? understand others?

4. Who are the advisers in your life? When have you received their advice that helped you at some point? When have you been an adviser for someone else?

5. The other title for this sermon is Community Discernment. How has our community of faith discerned the Holy Spirit's call? discerned the advice from an adviser? How has this made a difference?

Please join us this Sunday as we continue our sermon series, How to Hear God. This Sunday's message is God's Steady Voice and our scripture readings are 2 Timothy 3:14-17 and Psalm 119:105.
