Living, enjoying and sharing God's amazing love with the people of Maidenhead
We had David Angell with us at today’s discover, taking the third in our series on Future Events.
David’s subject was ‘What does the Bible say about the future of the world?’.
As last week, there are a few tweets which were sent during David’s talk and there is again the opportunity to listen to his words, at the bottom of this post. Continue reading “discover – ‘What does the Bible say about the future of the world?’ – 20 September 2015” →
We hope you had a very Happy Christmas and will enjoy a peaceful New Year.
We’ve had a great time over the Christmas period, particularly thinking about the real reason that we celebrate Christmas – that of the birth of the Lord Jesus at Bethlehem.
Our December Family Service was followed by an excellent Christmas lunch which proved to be very enjoyable. We also had over 80 people along for our Carols by Candlelight service on Christmas Eve, which was brilliant.
Aside from Christmas, we’ve had a busy 2013 with Family Services being held each month as well as enjoying a busy day with our stall at the inaugral Maidenhead Festival, back in the summer.
We had good numbers for our two BBQs in the summer and Mother’s Day Tea in March.
Our young people had a great weekend away at Swindon, where they studied the Seven Churches mentioned in Revelation, as well as at the annual camp in Romsey.
2013 also saw the commencement of our ‘Men’s Night’ and ‘Ladies Night’ activities. The men enjoyed a meal and also had a walk and BBQ evenings.
It’s also been a sad time in some ways as we said goodbye to Karla Cordell, back in January who had been suffering ill health for some years. Later in the year, we also bid farewell to Mike Wells who passed away after a period of illness. We had an excellent Thanksgiving Service for his life, with over 150 attending.
We’re thankful that both Karla and Mike are free from their discomfort and are with their Lord and Saviour. We continue to remember their families in prayer.
In practical matters, 2013 has also seen changes to the outside of the building. We put up a new sign on the front and also resurfaced the car park and created additional parking.
In 2014 we’re making some changes, as we begin our new discover service on 5 January.
This will be a combination of our monthly Family Services, our weekly Sunday Club and The Link Coffee Bar and will contain activities for all ages. We’ll begin with talks for the adults from the popular Christianity Explored course, for the first six weeks in January.
As a consequence of the changes on Sunday mornings, our Evening Service at 5.30pm on Sundays will no longer take place. Instead, we’ll be moving our Bible Teaching from Tuesday evenings to Sundays, beginning at 6pm. Our Prayer Meeting will also be moving from Thursday night to Wednesday night at 8pm.
We’re excited with the plans that lie ahead for 2014 and go into them all with an air of expectation and faith.
We don’t know what the Lord has in store for us at Parkside during the next year, but we look forward to every opportunity that we’ll have to tell others about our Saviour and what He has done for us.
Below are a few tweets from 2013:
I do not know what lies ahead, the way I cannot see; yet One stands near to be my guide, He’ll show the way to me:

A number of our Young People joined with others from different locations for the annual Bible Study weekend at Swindon.
The speaker for the weekend was Andy Street from Echoes. Andy took the subject of ‘The Seven Churches in Revelation’ and some of his talks were expertly captured on Twitter, by one of the young people, Josh Davies. His tweets from the weekend are below:

Vs 3-8 Categories of widows: vs 3-5 'widows indeed' (lost husband and family and were completely alone). Possible to be a 'disciple indeed'.
— Parkside Christn Fwp (@ParksideCF) March 10, 2012
Vs 5 – The widow's only hope is in God. Too easy for us these days with money etc to not rest entirely on God. Widow focusing all on God.
— Parkside Christn Fwp (@ParksideCF) March 10, 2012
Vs 4 Widow with family support – the family should seek to repay their parents' love back to their mother.
— Parkside Christn Fwp (@ParksideCF) March 10, 2012
Vs 6 Widow living for pleasure is spiritually dead whilst living physically.
— Parkside Christn Fwp (@ParksideCF) March 10, 2012
Vs 9-16 Two groups: 'Widows on the list for financial support' (9-10) – over 60, faithful wife, brought up children, been hospitable etc.
— Parkside Christn Fwp (@ParksideCF) March 10, 2012
Vs 11-15 'Widows not on the list' (11-15) – younger, wanting to remarry more important than God. She should remarry another Christian.
— Parkside Christn Fwp (@ParksideCF) March 10, 2012
Vs 17-25 Demonstration of love from elders: Demonstrate by their acts (v17) that they love the Lord, love the church & are willing to work.

God loves a cheerful heart… Do we give joyful or begrudgingly? Isn't he worth so much more! 3 cheers when the offering is taken!!
— Joshua Davies (@Davies_Josh) November 19, 2011
Giving takes energy!! Heaving from ourselves to God! What things are worthy to God for an offering?
— Joshua Davies (@Davies_Josh) November 19, 2011
Wave offering! presenting before God to have Gods scrutiny – see Christ in all these things!
— Joshua Davies (@Davies_Josh) November 19, 2011

Where did the Israelites get the stuff? God prepared before leaving Egypt! Amazing how God works before we know it!

Psalm 44-48 The king and his countenance The king and his coming The king and his coronation The king and his city
— Joshua Davies (@Davies_Josh) November 19, 2011
The psalm has a presenter & one who writes the word on lillie, (perhaps an instrument or perhaps a manner of which it was played) pure, holy
— Joshua Davies (@Davies_Josh) November 19, 2011
Are our hearts bubbling up over Gods word, is his word & him speaking to us causing us to fill with joy? Do we spend time to enjoy this?
— Joshua Davies (@Davies_Josh) November 19, 2011
The writer : my tongue is like the pen of an ready/eager writer? To descried the king! Are we ready/eager to speak about Jesus…
— Joshua Davies (@Davies_Josh) November 19, 2011
Jesus as the vessel of grace! He has given so much for ones who dint deserve it! Jesus is the definition of grace see Luke's gospel!
