Christmas at Parkside

We often refer to Christmas as the ‘advent’ season since we reflect on the arrival of our Messiah nearly 2,000 years ago! We have a number of opportunities to reflect and celebrate the birth of Christ: Advent Devotional: Draw close to God each day during this season. Pick-up an Advent devotional ($15 from the Welcome Desk). Four Sundays of Advent: Starting December 3rd, we’ll count down the weeks to Christmas looking at the gift of Jesus each week through a different lens. We’ll also introduce an advent wreath and light a new candle each week to represent the light of Christ coming into a dark world.

Unhoused for 24 Hours

Photo from whatsonmission.ca Unhoused for 24 Hours On a hot and muggy Thursday, Pastor Clint joined six other community members in going unhoused for 24 hours as a way to raise funds for the operation of Mission’s new Medical Mobile Unit.

During the orientation, a few folks from the shelter and current staff [...]

A CALL TO PRAY

Jesus said: “‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’” (Matthew 9:37-38 NIV). For the next four weeks (April 23 - May 21), we're asking Parksiders to set a weekday alarm on their phones for 9:37 (am and/or pm) and to pray Matthew 9:37-38 for our church. To help, please download a phone wallpaper to have this verse at hand :)
