Did you know that once a year we run a 6-week course called “Hearing God”? It’s a core discipleship experience for every Parksider. If you have ever wondered if God still speaks today or how to hear His voice, then we invite you to join us as we dive into what the Bible has to say about it and how we can Biblically discern God’s voice. Starts Tuesday, May 21st (7:00-8:30pm) and costs $30. Register at parksidechurch.ca/hg.

Home from College: Reconnecting With Your Young Adult at Christmas By Amanda Salmon This Christmas was our first time having a child return home from college. I did not give much thought to what this might require other than making lots of plans to do Christmas activities like usual for our family. I very quickly found myself living in a place of disappointment because things were not happening as I expected. I thought I was prepared since I checked in with her a couple of weeks before her return about what activities she’d like to join (i.e. our family tradition of decorating a Christmas tree followed by watching a Christmas movie), but I’m learning again that things don’t always go according to plan. In anticipation of her arrival, my younger daughter and I found three [...]
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. Finally, each service will include a Parkside testimony of what Jesus has meant in their life. Kids Christmas Presentation: In our December 17th service, our Mini Bears, Grade K-3 and Grade 4-6 [...]

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. The event was organized by Mission Community Services (MCS) and took place at a local emergency shelter nicknamed, “Haven in the Hollow”. Each participant was dropped off at 4:00pm with only the clothes on their back and a small bag for personal toiletries and a water bottle. Phones, money, wallets, and ID were not allowed. The first activity was to be received into the shelter by staff like anyone else by completing the in-take interview (lots of paperwork) followed by an orientation. During the orientation, a few folks from the shelter and current staff [...]

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 :)
