This past week, we had the privilege of hosting around 1100 pastors and Christian workers at our annual Basics Conference.

Our theme this year was “We do not lose heart,” and the attendees were encouraged and challenged from the Scriptures by Alistair and guest speakers D.A. Carson, Josh Moody, and Jonathan Holmes.

In addition to being exposed to rich teaching, our guests were welcomed and served by over a hundred volunteers from Parkside, who did everything from hosting men in their homes to serving them meals to leading them in worship.

On behalf on the entire staff at Parkside, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who gave of their time and gifts to bless the attendees: whether you were praying for them, helping them find their way around the building, or cleaning up after them, thank you for serving Christ and helping make Basics possible! Our hope and prayer is that the men who joined us were refreshed by their time here and that they have returned home strengthened to continue in Gospel ministry. Please join us in praying for much fruit from the conference.

Sincerely,
Pastor Dan Southam
