Children

What do you get when you combine elementary-aged boys, balls of various types, pizza, and the Warehouse on a Friday night? You get a Boys’ Game Night event (BGN) that is all about good, old-fashioned “boy fun.” Boys’ Game Nights occur 3-4 times a year and are open to any boys in Kindergarten-5th grade. Boys must be in attendance with a male adult (dad, grandpa, uncle, friend), and we hear stories that the adults have just as much fun (maybe more?) as the kids do!

• People who like to have fun (what beats play dough & animal crackers?)
• People who like a challenge (some of our classroom puzzles are really hard!)
• People who like to learn (are you smarter than a 5th grader? Kids ask tough questions!)
• People who want to build relationships with others
• People who are members and regular attendees of Parkside for a minimum of six months
• People of all ages and stages of life—teens, singles, couples, retirees
• People who love the Lord Jesus Christ and who desire to see the next generation come to know and love Christ

As many of you know, our much-anticipated annual Christmas Concerts are right around the corner. These spectacular evenings are a great way for us to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ as a church family, and to welcome our family and friends to Parkside Church. As an outreach effort to our guests and church families who will be attending the concerts, we will be providing childcare to children under 36 months of age for all three evening concerts, but we need your help.
