Parkside Fellowship Annual Meeting

1/26/2019

 
​Article 8 of our church bylaws state that each year, the membership of Parkside Fellowship share gather together for an annual meeting.  The purpose of this meeting is to:
Hear from the Senior Pastor and other ministry leaders on how Parkside Fellowship is continuing to fulfill our church's  overarching purpose, which is the fulfillment of Christ's Great Commission given in Matthew 28:18-20.  This purpose is rooted in three key Bible teachings:  a)that we are all broken and in need of God's grace; b)that Jesus' life, death and resurrection makes it possible for us to receive God's salvation and to worship in ways that reflect His beauty, grace, power and purpose; c)that Christ's Commission to make disciples (evangelism) and to mature disciples (discipleship) is our most important collective calling.
To give an update on the financial strength of our church and to discuss and vote to approve the 2019 budget.
To pray and ask God for His blessing and guidance for our future.
This year's annual meeting is scheduled for Saturday, February 23rd at 3:00pm in the afternoon.  Please pray for our Church Council as they put the "finishing touches" on our proposed 2019 budget and finalize ministry direction for 2019.

Don't forget to join us this Sunday at either 9:15am or 10:30am, as we continue to talk about Loving God, Loving Others and answer the question, "Who Needs God".

See you Sunday.

Pastor Doug

The Great Commandment

1/17/2019

 
​This Sunday, at 9:15am, we will continue our series on The Great Commandment, which Jesus clearly states is to....

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength."

This week, we will focus our attention on loving God with all of our soul.  For me, prayer, perhaps more than any other activity, is the best way for me to show my love for God with all my soul.  In addition to all the other work that gets done through prayer, perhaps the greatest work of all is the knitting of our soul with the soul of God.  I have never hear anyone regret the amount of time they have devoted to prayer.  

"For where there is much prayer there is much love."  John Ortberg

Allow your soul to be united to God's through prayer.

One last reminder that the Celebration of Life for Letha Lane with be held this Saturday, January 19th, at 10:30am in the worship center.

Also, this Sunday at 11:45am, we invite you to join us in room #307/308 for a special Adults on Mission lunch.  Julie Calvert, a missionary with the International Mission Board, is home on furlough from her work in England and will be sharing with us how God has been working in and through her life as an international missionary.  Parkside Fellowship will provide salad, bread and drinks.  Please bring a soup to share.

I think that's it for now!  Hope to see you on Sunday.....if not before.

Looking Forward Into 2019

1/11/2019

 
It's hard to believe that 2019 is upon us and we are almost half-way through January.....crazy!

As I reflect on what God did in the life of our church this past year, let me take a moment and recap some of the highlights for you!

First of all, he brought us Pastor Avery to lead us in worship.  Although Avery continues to lead Common Ground as their Lead Pastor, somehow, he still finds the time to come alongside and help me design a service that brings glory to God and helps us become more like Jesus.  Be sure and say, "THANKS" to Avery the next time you see him.

God also brought together an amazing team of individuals within our own church family, who made the commitment to lock-arms and strategize ways to increase Parkside's influence in our community.  One of the key tasks undertaken by this team was to help our congregation understand the need to change the name of our church.  This was not an easy job and not without it's obstacles, but I'm so thankful that you chose to rally around this decision to change our name from First Baptist Church to Parkside Fellowship.  I have heard from many in our community who like our new name and see it as a positive step forward in increasing our ministry effectiveness.  Thanks Grow Young Team!  I could not have done it without you!

Finally, just this past December, we were able to close the books on two important financial transactions that will help us moving forward.  First, we were able to secure a new loan with the Northwest Baptist Foundation.  This new loan agreement, with a lower interest rate, allowed us to decrease our monthly payment from $11,600 per month to $6,768 per month.  Then, on December 31st, we closed on the sale of the orchard property to Tualatin Hills Park and Rec District.  With the proceeds from the sale of this property, we were able to decrease our loan amount from $1.42 million dollars, to just over $1 million dollars, which again, lowered our monthly payment from $6,768 to $5,700 per month.  This decrease in our loan payment will allow us the freedom to dream about how best to reach our community with the Gospel.

Please join us on Sunday at either 9:15am or 10:30am, as we give glory to God for "every perfect gift" that he has chosen to rain down on us during 2018.

At 9:15am, we will begin a new series called, Love God, Love Others.  Our focus will be on the Great Commandment and what it truly looks like to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength.  For this week's message, you can get a head start by taking a moment to read the story of Mary and Martha found in Luke 10:38-42 and ask yourself the question....."Do I possess the heart of Mary or the heart of Martha?"....after Sunday, your answer might change!

At 10:30am, we will be asking the question, "What is the foundation for our belief in God and Jesus of the Bible?", as we begin a new series called, Who Needs God.  If you know someone who is skeptical of Christianity, or not quite sure if Jesus is for them, this would be a great series for them come to with their doubts and questions.

Pick a service that fits you and I look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
