From Dec.-Feb. a complementary valet service will be available for the elderly members of our congregation with mobility difficulties during the 11:15am worship service. This may be utilized fifteen minutes before and after the service. Please use the covered entrance into the Auditorium that is nearest to the Fellowship Hall.

As an outreach to our guests and families with young children, we are providing nursery for children birth-35 months of age at all three of our 7 pm concerts on December 9-11.  We must staff a minimum of 10 adults each evening.  Teens are welcome to serve in remaining spots.

Parkside is partnering with Scranton Road Bible Church in giving Christmas gifts to children.

With less than eight weeks until the start of Vacation Bible School, we are in the midst of recruiting volunteers and signing up children. Here’s some information on how you and your family can be involved at this year’s Summer Seaquest:

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.

For more than two decades, Parkside Church has partnered with Scranton Road Bible Church on the near west side of Cleveland to collect and deliver food to local area families in need. This partnership, known as The Thanksgiving Box Project, has evolved from its first year of collecting 25 bags of groceries to last year's collection and delivery of approximately 300 complete Thanksgiving meals.
