Parkside BBQ

This Sunday at noon, Parkside Fellowship will be joining with Bedrock Community Church and New Creation Church (Chinese church) for our 2nd Summer BBQ of the season.  Unlike the one in June, this Sunday's weather report appears to be "just right" with temperatures around 78 during the event.  We will have both inside and outside seating, so come prepared to eat some good food and make some new friends from both Bedrock and New Creation.

Also this Sunday at 9:30am, we will continue our summer series called, FOCUSED.  One of the incredible abilities of Jesus was to stay on target.  He never got off track.  Not once do we find him walking down the wrong side of the street.  Whatever direction Jesus walked, it was the right one.  The heart of Christ was relentlessly focused on one task--the cross of Calvary.  He was so focused that his final words were, "It is finished".  Jesus had completed his designated task.  Would you love to be able to say the same?  Wouldn't you love to look back on your life and know you had done what you were called to do?

As we continue the conversation around living a "kingdom of God" focused life, let me give you 3 questions to ponder that just might help you stay on target, so at the end of your life, you can say, "Mission Accomplished".

1. Am I fitting into God's plan or am I trying to fit God into my plan?  Regardless of what you don't know about your future, one thing is certain:  you are called to contribute to God's gospel plan, to tell others about the God who loves them and longs to be in relationship with them.
2. What are my abilities?  Based on what I do well, how can I use my strengths to accomplish God's plan for my life?  Failing to focus on our strengths may prevent us from accomplishing the unique tasks God has called us to do.  
3. Am I serving God now?  What are you waiting for?

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

1.  Attend our live "in-person" gathering.  No capacity restrictions, no mask requirements, no COVID protocols to follow!

2.  We value our online church community and will continue to livestream our church service at 9:30am for those who wish to participate. 

After the service, at 10:45am, we invite you to join our "after-church" discipleship class on the book of Revelation.  The book of Revelation unveils the glory of Jesus Christ.  Written by the Apostle John, Revelation is a reminder to remain faithful and trust God, even when things around us don't make sense.
