During 2011 we will be trying a new venture at Parkside – that of monthly Family Services on the first Sunday of each month.

In the series, we’ll be be looking at some of Jesus’ miracles.  We begin, next Sunday with the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine, at a wedding in Cana.

The format of each Family Service will be largely the same each month.  We’ll begin with some singing, have a memory verse and choruses for the children and finish with a short talk about the subject for the month.

Our normal two family teas will be taking place as normal.  On these months, we won’t be having a morning Family Sevice, and the tea will take place at 5pm.  In addition, the July and September Family Services will be followed by a BBQ and games in the park.

Please come along and bring all the family and friends, whatever their age.  We look forward to seeing you.
