Happy Friday, Parkside!

Remember when, at the end of last year, so many were breathing a sigh of relief that 2020 was ending? In our minds, 2021 just couldn’t be as bad as 2020. No way! So when we threw away the old 2020 calendar and put out the new 2021 one, we just knew that things were going to be better. But they weren’t. In January, there were the Washington DC riots with mobs storming the Capitol. In February, Texas, and our town, endured the coldest weather ever, with temperatures dropping below zero, power failures, water mains breaking, and grocery store shelves depleted. And then there were the highway pileups of cars and trucks crashing into each other because of the ice. And the deaths caused by the cold weather. And, of course, we are all still dealing with the threat of COVID in 2021. Does this surprise you? Not if you are trusting in an all-wise, all-powerful, all-knowing God who “holds the whole world in His hands.” So we don’t panic. We don’t run out of the house screaming. We trust that God, as we often say, is “in control.” And He is. Nothing takes Him by surprise. That is something that we can know for sure!

-Jerry Coffman, Senior Adult Ministry Pastor

Eggstravaganza

Kathy needs candy for our Easter Eggstravaganza! This is a community-wide egg hunt aimed at outreach. 5,000 pieces of candy (individually wrapped and no bigger than a quarter) are needed for the eggs. Volunteers are also needed to serve snow-cones, register kids and families, and man the prize table. If you can help, email Kathy and let her know!

Undivided DNOW Weekend

This weekend we hosted our DNOW weekend in collaboration with 9 local churches. During this weekend our group of about 200 students learned about the importance of loving God with ALL of your heart and how we can do that in our everyday lives.

During the event we had countless lives changed for the glory of His name, and several salvations across the 9 churches.
