Outreach

Home Centered Communion

The PHPC Diaconate provides Communion to members who are unable to attend church in person. Four Sundays a year, following worship, Communion is delivered to residences by active and retired Deacons and Elders. Scripture is read, prayers are offered and bread and juice are shared as we extend the table to our home-centered members.

To request home communion for yourself or a loved one, please contact
Mahlon Hight at   or 214.368.6348 x118

Visitation

PHPC is committed to maintaining strong connections with our members and friends who reside in assisted living and long-term care facilities. Through this important ministry, volunteers provide a much needed connection between those they visit and the church family they miss. If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact Mahlon Hight, Congregational Care and Senior Adult Ministry Coordinator at 214.368.6348 x118 or  

Grief Support

"Good Grief"

PHPC’s grief support group, “Good Grief” occurs three times a year. Good Grief is typically offered in the winter, the summer, and the fall and consists of 6 weekly sessions. These sessions usually happen at the church on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. Rev. Mark Brainerd and Mahlon Hight lead the weekly sessions and all materials are provided.
Grief is a deeply personal and an ongoing part of life. We believe that by coming together with others who are grieving, sharing common feelings and experiences, we begin to move forward with grief in a healthy way.

For more information contact Mahlon Hight at The cost of “Good Grief” is $20 and scholarships are available.
