SUBSCRIBE HERE! We're excited to share with you a new weekly curriculum that you can use in your home at a time during the week that works for your schedule. We know that most parents are hanging on by threads and so we didn't want to add something that would be another "thing" to do. It can be as simple as pressing play or if you have the energy there's a parent guide to get a little more into the lesson. Every Sunday morning, we'll send out an email with a short video and prayer from a Parkside teacher for our kids to watch as well as a link to that week's curriculum video and corresponding PDF.

For the week of April 5th we’re going to reflect on the stone (barrier) of silence. Jesus says He will roll away the stone of self if we put Him first.

Jesus found his joy, not in the [...]
