Thank You Blossom Time Festival Volunteers!

Thank you to the 53 volunteers who represented Parkside Church at this year's Blossom Time Festival in Chagrin Falls.

We are grateful for the many friendly faces and enthusiastic greeters who helped make our presence at the festival a positive one! Hundreds of kids and families received invitations to Vacation Bible Camp, Ambassadors Soccer Camp, and Community Day and more than 50 copies of the One Year New Testament were picked up by visitors to the booth.

Please pray that that the children who received invitations will come to Vacation Bible Camp, that those who picked up Bibles will read them, and that people will join us for Community Day. 

Want to know what it's like to serve at the festival? Check out photos of the event and volunteers here>>

AND

Children's Book Donation (For a Free Scoop of Mitchell's Ice Cream!)

On July 26, stop by Mitchell's Homemade Ice Cream in Solon between 6:30-8:00pm and donate a NEW children's book and receive a free scoop of ice cream. This special event, "Bringing Hope by the Scoop," helps support Building Hope in the City, a faith-based organization in Cleveland that partners with local congregations, people, and communities to see the city restored to God.

The books are used in two ways: 1) They are given to children in tutoring programs at the beginning of the school year to take home and keep; and, 2) BHITC offers "Little Free Library Carts" at our tutoring locations where students can borrow books to read during tutoring and also to take home and return. To learn more about BHITC, visit their website, buildinghopeinthecity.org.

Dan Chan, Phil Gard, Catherine Ma, Liz Martinez, Annie Morgan, and Molly Patel.

Mike and Joan Ross in Mexico
Please continue praying for safety in their flying as they deal with rain and clouds in their mountain airstrips during June. Praise that the Cessna 182 has finally made a flight after several years on the ground. Pray for the final paperwork so that this too might be used for God’s Kingdom. Pray for follow-up to invitations to do Bible studies in Amoltepec. Pray for Mike and Joan as they spend time with family in June—that God would be honored and glorified—and that their three sons and their families would learn to seek first the Kingdom of God.

World Changers Student Missions Trips

Pray that our efforts will be friendly and inviting, that people would get connected to the neighborhood churches, and ultimately that they come to know Christ as their Savior. Pray for the team’s travel, safety, health, and attitudes.
