New to Parkside Westside? We'd love to meet you on Sunday, September 7th at 9:30am in Room 210. We'll spend some time together during the first service hanging out, answering your questions, and introducing you to some on our leadership team. Light refreshments will be provided. Sign-up here.
Women's Bible Study - September 16th/18th
Join us for our next Women's Bible Study beginning in September. We will be using Lydia Brownback's book, Colossians: Fullness of Life in Christ to remind ourselves that Christ is the ruler of all things and sufficient for our every need. While we may profess these truths, we sometimes struggle to apply them to our everyday lives. Thankfully, the book of Colossians offers a practical guideline, exalting Christ as the Lord of everything and showing us how we share in his life, death, and resurrection in our lives now and for all eternity.
This 10-week study will begin on Tuesday, September 16th, with an evening group meeting at 6:30pm. There will also be a Thursday morning group meeting at 10:00am beginning on September 18th. Please note that space is limited so please contact a group leader so we can plan accordingly.
For more information on the Tuesday evening group, please contact Gretchen Wysocki.
For more information on the Thursday morning group, please contact Julie MacDonald.

We're turning 10! - September 28th
Next month marks Parkside Westside's 10th Birthday! This is a special one, and we feel it's a worthy thing to celebrate together on Sunday, September 28th. As a way to get everyone involved in the celebration, we're asking you to bake some of your favorite desserts to share. Be that a cake, cupcakes, cookies, or brownies, we want to make this a birthday to remember with everyone's help. You can drop off your baked goods in the lower level before either service on September 28th.
We also want to take some time that day to reflect together on how we've come to call Parkside Westside our home. We invite you to write a brief word of testimony so that we might share them that Sunday. The Lord has been so faithful to us over these last ten years, and we thought this would be a special way to glorify him and to encourage one another.
Share your testimony here (anonymously if you'd like). Please do so by September 21st so we can compile them for the following Sunday.
