On both a theological and a practical level, forgiveness is at the very heart of what it means to be a Christian. True forgiveness comes at a cost and is pursued intentionally within a community of believers.

Partial Involvement

May 8 marks the transition between our 60 Days of Pledging and the 60 Days of Thanking. To date, we have received $6.3 million in Faith Promises from 448 households representing 42% of our $15 million goal from 22% of our estimated 2000 individuals and families.

Full Participation

Our leadership team is asking every member and regular attender who has not yet submitted a Faith Promise to pick up a card, from one of the info racks, and place it in the offering plate. Even if you are unable to participate financially at this time please be involved in this way so that we may better informed in our decision making.

Everyone Praying

We encourage each of you to continue to pray for God’s guidance and to give thanks for those who have filled out a Faith Promise card. If you have specific questions or feedback regarding any aspect of Building into the Next Generation, you can either submit them online at parksidechurch.com/vision or call the church at 440.543.1212.

Book Recommendation: Unbroken

Unbroken is, in a word, amazing - easily one of the best books I read in 2010. It is written by Laura Hillenbrand who also penned Seabiscuit. This new book shot straight to #2 on the New York Times list of bestsellers just days after its release.

Meet Fernando Ortega

Location: Parkside Church
Start Time: Sun 10, April 2011, 10 p.m.

Over these past 15 years we’ve heard the music of Fernando Ortega as if it were the soundtrack to our lives. We met this extraordinary artist though his early music, which danced to guitars and drums, fueled by the energy of youth yet crafted to the highest standards of pop composition, comparable in its vision and quality to the best of Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon.

Not too Cool for School

On different mornings at different high schools, groups of teenagers are meeting before class at 7:00 a.m. to study the Bible, pray, and develop relationships with other students. The group that meets is called the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), "but you don't have to be an athlete to attend," explains, Meagan (pronounced MAY-gen) Crowl, 17 who plays on the golf team and is a junior at Solon High School. "It was just easier to keep the name because it was already an existing group," adds Meagan.
