What are you thankful for?

​What are you thankful for?

As you reflect on this past year, your initial response might be...nothing...absolutely nothing! 

After this initial "off-the-cuff" statement, let me encourage you to take some time this week and look up, look around and look within and say, "Thank you, Lord, for..."  Here are a few, "Thank you(s) to get you started:
  • Thank you Lord for all you are, all you do, all you say.
  • Thank you Lord for your sovereign control over our circumstances.
  • Thank you Lord for your love that holds us close.
  • Thank you Lord for a place to live, clothes to wear, and food to eat.
  • Thank you Lord for memories of past pleasures and recent accomplishments.
  • Thank you Lord for family and friends.
  • Thank you Lord for...(fill in the blank)

Our God is truly worthy of our highest praise.  To Him goes all the glory!

This past Wednesday, I sent out an email letting you know our Sunday plans for the rest of 2020.  Based on the latest restrictions and the continued spike in COVID cases, we have decided to shift back to online services for the rest of the year.  Below are some of the points I shared in that email:
  • Our Sunday morning service will be online ONLY for the remainder of 2020.
  • This shift to online only will allow us to provide a more complete worship experience with Christmas carols, special music by members of our church family, Advent candle lighting, Christmas testimonies, etc.
  • Each week during the month of December, members of our church leadership team will be making "special deliveries" to each Parkside household.  The purpose of this visit will be to drop off a surprise gift and to spend a moment praying for you.
  • Starting Wednesday, December 2nd, Pastor Doug will host a zoom prayer gathering.  This weekly time of prayer will take place at 12:30pm and last about 30min.  It will be a time for you to gather with other individuals from Parkside and spend a few moments praying for our church, each other and our community.  More details to follow.
As we shift back to an online church service, I want to remind you how to access our livestream service.  You can access the livestream on our website, www.parksidefellowship.org.  Click on the "youtube live" link located on the home page where it reads "Schedule".  Once you click on this link, you will be directed to our livestream service that begins at 9:30am.

After the service please consider joining us at 10:45am (note the time change) for our "after-church" gathering on zoom.  

We will be spending one more week with Roger and his discipleship class, "Habits for our Holiness".  After this week, our "after-church" zoom gathering will return to its regular format of sharing and a time of prayer.

I, along with Roger and our church council, thanks you for your continued support and prayer as we discuss, pray and make decisions in what has become a constantly changing environment.

Allow me to close with this prayer from Jude 24-25.

"Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.  All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord.  All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time!  Amen."

"See" you Sunday.

Pastor Doug
