The Parkside Insider: March 31, 2020
Alistair Begg speaks on the frailty of life and where we should turn for hope.  
A Few Reminders for This Week...

We Are Praying
In the midst of social distancing and stay-at-home mandates, it is easy to feel anxious and alone. Please know that we are praying for you every week when we gather as a team for devotions and prayer.

Many of you have reached out to let us know how you're doing, or have asked us to pray specifically for present concerns. Thank you for keeping us updated, and for continuing to call or email. If you need prayer, assistance, or would like to speak with a pastor, you can call the church office at 440-543-1212 or email pks@parksidechurch.com. If you are in isolation due to a COVID-19 diagnosis, please let us know, and if you need assistance, fill out the form here. 

Utilize the Parkside App
If you haven't already downloaded the Parkside App, you can do so through the App Store or Google Play. We update the app daily with our Missionary Prayer Calendar and New Testament Devotional, as well as provide weekly news from our congregation and resources for parents with young children through the "My Resources" tile.

Get Connected With a Parkside Group
In times like these, when we feel our disconnection more than ever, we can find comfort in the company of one another - even remotely. Our Sunday Morning Groups and Community Groups are intended to help nurture your relationship with Christ through community with other Christians. Even though many groups have switched to meeting online, or communicating by phone and email, we invite you to become part of one. To get connected, simply pick a group or location near you, and email the pastor or leader.

Worship With Us on Sundays
Remember to join us online at 9:45am this Sunday, April 5, for a new, live service and message from Pastor Alistair Begg. You can watch at the locations below, and re-watch anytime on Facebook or on the Parkside website.

RADIANT WITH HOPE
Alistair Begg on Romans 15:18, from Sunday, March 29, 2020

Amidst chaos and confusion, where can we find hope? Whether we face a personal crisis or a worldwide pandemic, God remains our refuge and keeper, teaches Alistair Begg. With faith grounded in His covenant promises, believers can radiate peace and joy even in dark and daunting circumstances because of the salvation that is ours in Christ alone.
