Through God’s Spirit, we listen deeply, build community, and act for justice.
We welcome you to Parkway United Church of Christ!
Our congregation has returned to worshiping together in-person on Sunday’s at 11:00 am. We will continue to monitor the latest information for the safest exposure practices and have implemented a new gathering policy
Beginning December 1, 2022 , we will adopt the following:
1) For worship and other large gatherings in the sanctuary and fellowship hall, the use of face masks will be a personal preference. This will change if Covid-19 levels return to a high risk in our county.
However, the NCDHHS recommends mask use if: you are at high risk for severe illness
or not up-to-date with vaccines, you were exposed or recently infected, you want added
protection, and when Covid-19 levels are high.
2) We will continue to sign-in upon arrival for Sunday worship.
3) We will return to offering communion using individual glasses and wafers. Those serving communion will wear face masks and gloves.
4) We will return to holding brunch church periodically, mindful of current health concerns and cases.
5) We will return to offering community time with light snacks periodically, mindful of current health concerns and cases.
6) All viruses (Covid-19, common cold, flu, and RSV) are primarily transmitted when someone is symptomatic. We strongly encourage anyone who is not feeling well or experiencing fever, aches, cough, sore throat, or other respiratory symptoms to remain at home and join worship or other events or meetings remotely.
7) For small group events or meetings held in smaller spaces, we encourage the group to check-in with each other about the use of face masks and to defer to those who feel more comfortable if everyone stays masked.
We invite you attend a service, and we will look forward to meeting you!
If you prefer to watch a service from home and are not a member, you can easily view our 11 am Worship services weekly on Facebook Live, from our Facebook page, Parkway UCC Winston-Salem. (Link Below)

The Single Women’s Group At Parkway UCC meets monthly and enjoy many events together. This group tries to vary the events so, that all can be included at least part of the time. Sometimes they meet at a restaurant, other times have a covered dish/potluck at a members home, or at the church. They also take in music/ballgames/plays/movies, etc. together. This gathering usually tries to meet on a Friday evening, or a late Sunday afternoon/evening. They are currently recruiting volunteers to plan some of their upcoming events…..Want to help, or be a part? Call the church office for contact information.
