We want to give you an update on Parkway’s sports ministry for the coming months and moving forward. Like so much over the past year and a half, we have taken this time to re-evaluate ministries and pivot where needed. Hebrews 13:8 tells us that “God is the same yesterday, today, and forever” and the totality of Scripture affirms that the truth of the Gospel message remains unchanged. While the gospel remains unchanged, the methods and ministries that deliver the gospel need to be evaluated from season to season.
As a result, we have made the decision not to offer Upward basketball this season at Parkway. Recognizing the impact of sports in our culture, our goal moving forward will be to offer day sports camps throughout the year so we can still impact our community through the medium of sports. We also see many Parkway families coaching and participating in our community sports programs and we are grateful. These are ripe mission fields for coaches and players who are part of the Parkway family to share their faith with other coaches and players and be the aroma of Christ there!
As we make this pivot, we ask for prayers as we continue to make much of Jesus in Moseley and throughout the nations. We are so thankful for all those who have served in our Upward Sports ministry for the past 15 seasons.
Gratefully,
Pastor Mac and the Pastoral teams at Parkway
