This Morning!
The Basis Of Our Thanksgiving: The LORD God Almighty
“Every time I write something significant, every time I read
my words and think that they are wonderful, and begin to
feel proud of myself, I look at the turtle on top of the fence
post and remember that he didn’t get there on his own.
He had help.”
Alex Haley, author of “Roots”

Join Pastor Rob Renberg on Sunday, December 1 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. for an
informative time of learning about Parkside Bible Church. Pastor Rob will be
sharing the core values and mission-driven focus that provide the foundation
for our ministry. This “Dessert & Discussion” provides a place to connect with
others on your spiritual journey and it will show you how to make a difference
and enjoy the community that comes through journeying together here at
Parkside.
Here’s an opportunity to begin finding your way in the life of our church and to
catch a glimpse of Parkside’s vision to impact people for Jesus Christ as we
serve our community, encouraging personal spiritual growth in an atmosphere
of grace, forgiveness and acceptance.
We will be looking at our mission and vision and the biblical convictions that
define us and make Parkside the special place that it is! This class is also a
prerequisite for membership, but many participate as an information gathering
starting point as well. Nursery will be provided if needed. Please RSVP with the
tear off slip below so that we know how many people to plan for.
P.S. You don’t have to become a member if you attend this class! If you just
want to know more about Parkside Bible Church, feel free to be a part of this
informative time of fellowship and learning! RSVP and just come!
P.S.S. If you have already attended a Pastor’s Class in the past, you have
fulfilled the “meeting” requirement for membership and don’t have to
attend again (unless you’d like a great dessert!). Check the box below.

5. DEDICATING YOUR CHILD
OUR COMMITMENT
TOYS FOR TOTS AND
FOR OUR CHURCH FAMILY!
This year we are again participating in the Toys
For Tots Drive as well as our own drive to help
some of our church family. Gifts for teens and
babies are very much in demand. If you would like
to donate, please place your unwrapped toys in the
Toys For Tots box located near the church office.
As Christian parents, we take seriously our responsibility to raise any children
God entrusts to us in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. It is our desire to
publicly declare that commitment, as a testimony of our complete dependence
on the Wisdom found in God's Word, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, for
success in our role as the parents and spiritual guardians of our children.
We also pray that our public commitment to godly parenting will remind other
parents of their great privilege and responsibility before God. We understand
that no supernatural grace or benefit is imparted to our child through this
dedication service, but rather we are pledging ourselves, as Christian parents,
to exert every possible godly influence on this child; to demonstrate to him,
our godly example, the power and truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; to
endeavor to lead him/her to a saving faith in the Savior; and to faithfully teach
our child the precious truths contained in the Word of God.
We request the blessing and support of our Church Family to help us to “train
up our child in the way he should go.”
