40 Days with Jesus

As we near the end of Lent, I want to jump ahead and share with you a portion of tomorrow's reading from the devotional 40 Days with Jesus that we have been going through as a church family:

Day 32.  I am perpetually with you, taking care of you.  That is the most important fact of your existence.  You need not fear the future, for I am already there.  When you make the quantum leap into eternity, you will find Me awaiting you in heaven.  Your future is in My hands; I release it to you day by day, moment by moment.  Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow.  (See Matthew 6:34)

I want you to live this day abundantly, seeing all there is to see, doing all there is to do.  Don't be distracted by future concerns.  Leave them to Me!  I am training you to keep your focus on My Presence in the present.  This is how to receive abundant life, which flows freely from My throne of grace. 

This Sunday, at 9:30am, Pastor Norm will continue our series, Gazing at Glory, as he unpacks for us John 11.  Please consider joining us in-person.  You can also join me in my office at 8:45am for a time of prayer before our service begins.

NOTE:  Our Sunday service continues to meet at 9:30am, with two options for participating.

1. Attend our live "in-person" gathering.  No reservations are required and we will continue to follow all necessary COVID guidelines.  Please wear a mask so we can keep everyone safe and healthy!
2. We value our online church community and will continue to livestream our church service at 9:30am for those who wish to participate. 

NOTE:  For our "after-church" zoom gathering, we will be joining our newest discipleship class led by Larry Annes.

As I mentioned at our Annual Meeting, we have two ancillary committee vacancies.  We need to fill one open seat on our Personnel Committee and one open seat on our Legal Committee.  This Sunday, March 21, church members will have the opportunity to vote to confirm the following candidates for these two open positions. 

Legal Committee:  Jonella Malinowski
Personnel Committee:  Greg Malinowski

For those who attend in-person, you will be able to fill-out your ballot either before or after the service.  For those of you who wish to vote by email, you may do so by replying to this email.  Simply type the name of the candidate and type YES or NO next to their name.  Please include your name, so that we can confirm your status as a member of Parkside Fellowship. 

Should you have any questions about this process, please email Pastor Doug at doug.boyd@parksidefellowship.org or Mark Hester at mark.f.hester@gmail.com

Thank you for being a church that prays!

See you Sunday!

Pastor Doug
