Pulpit Swap: Adam Romans
Please join us in welcoming Pastor Adam Romans from Parkside Green this morning. Adam joined the pastoral team at Parkside Church as the Campus Pastor in October 2008. He received his education from the Moody Bible Institute and is continuing his education at Covenant Theological Seminary. Before joining the Parkside team he served as a youth and music pastor at another church. He and his wife, Christina, have three children: Lydia, Ben, and Julia.
Lakewood Christmas Store
The Christmas Store is gearing up for another year and we're excited for another opportunity to serve our neighbors here in Lakewood. Things will look a bit different this year, but there are plenty of ways you can jump in and help! Please check our blog for more information and changes to the December schedule.
Advent Activity Packet
Parents, please pick up a copy of our Advent Activity Packet for your family in the Lower Level. This is a great opportunity to lead your children through the Christmas season in a thoughtful way and includes paper ornament crafts.
First Steps Bruncheon: December 6th
New to Parkside Westside? Join us after the first service on December 6th at 10:15 AM for a brief get-together. We'll introduce you to some on our leadership team and share a little bit about who we are and where we're headed as a church. We'll meet upstairs in Room 210 and spread out to ensure social distancing. RSVP here and we'll be sure to save you a seat!
Video Venue for Parents
In an effort to provide some additional flexibility for parents with young children, on a trial basis we will begin streaming services in the lower level. Families may RSVP for the 9:00AM or 10:30AM service as normal and utilize the space as needed. Please note that this option is specifically designed to serve our families with infants and young children and is not intended as an alternate format for all attenders.
Baptism Preparation Workshop
If you're interested in taking the next step toward baptism, please join us for a two-part preparation workshop on December 6 & 13 at 10:15AM. Our hope is to include these baptisms as a part of our Christmas Eve services. Sign-up here or email if you have any questions.
Join the Greeter or Usher Team
Our ushers and greeters are the first to welcome you on a Sunday morning. During these days of COVID-19 they are there to help you find a seat and answer your questions. If you would like to help out in this way, please fill out the Volunteer Form and select "Ushers" or "Greeters" as your serving area of choice, and we'll follow up with you. Bonus: ushers and greeters are guaranteed a spot for the Sunday service!
Children's Ministry during COVID-19
We are not offering children’s ministry at this time, due to potential risks to children and volunteers, and because of the difficulty in ensuring proper sanitization. We are, however, glad to make our children's curriculum available for home use. Curriculum will be distributed via a shared drive; if you are not a member of the "Children's" group in CCB and would like access to the curriculum, please email and we will add you.
Building Campaign
If you would still like to participate in our Pledge Campaign, we would welcome you to do so. If you have already pledged, you are now able to set up your online gift through the "Give" tab in CCB or designate your checks as "Building Campaign" in the memo line. For more information, please visit our Building Campaign webpage.
