Service is live: Watch Now

The Parkside Insider: August 11, 2023
E & J are Parkside missionaries serving in a closed country. E writes:
 
It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost two years now since we moved from Northeast Ohio to North Africa. Although life here might seem a bit different from what we’ve known in the States, we are thankful to know that our God is still the same and is faithfully providing and working! As we press on, and as you stand with us, it is important to remember what our goal is:

“To glorify God by obeying him in order to see a sustainable, reproducing movement of maturing, Bible-believing and Bible-obeying local churches among the ‘C’ [initial only for security purposes]. This is done as a team, in partnership with ‘C’ believers, and the national church.”

This goal helps direct our efforts here. “C” stands for the minority people group that we are focused on reaching. They have no churches, and the Bible has yet to be translated into their language, so our first step in this process is learning the language.

Last Week's Sermon
Romans 11:33-36

Before the beginning of time, God established a plan of redemption to save sinners. God, as both author and agent, sent his Son, Jesus, to do what we could never do for ourselves—to rescue and redeem us. Chapter 11 of Paul’s letter to the Romans shows us that the more believers stand in awe of the riches, wisdom, and knowledge of God, the more we will be overwhelmed by gratitude and praise. Everything we do in worship should help us and others see more of Jesus, so that we cannot help but sing his praises.

A Great Place to Serve and Get to Know Others!
Helpers & Teachers needed for Sunday morning or evening

Every Sunday, our Children's Ministry serves 450-550 children with over 150 volunteers! We are blessed to be able to care for and reach so many children, and by extension, care for their parents as they attend church.

Will you consider being a pair of willing hands on one of our Children's Ministry teams this year? If you have been thinking about serving, but have questions, we invite you to watch this short video, or come to an informal Q&A this Sunday, August 13, at 10:10am in C202. A sincere thank you to all who have already committed for this coming year. We are grateful to the Lord for your partnership.
