CELEBRATING GOD’S GRACE…
THROUGH THE GIFTS OF HIS PEOPLE…
A family in our congregation, who wants to remain anonymous, has
offered to give a matching gift of up to half of our remaining mortgage of
$370,000. This family will match up to $185,000. The matching project
would be until the end of this year with the last Sunday to give being
December 18, 2016. The Board has unanimously agreed to
$50,000 from our General Fund into the Building Fund to provide us a
challenge of seeing the congregation raise as much as possible of the
remaining $135,000 over the new few months. The project looks like this:
Mortgage Remaining: $370,000
Matching Gift: $185,000
Transfer from General Fund $ 50,000
Congregational Challenge $135,000
Please prayerfully consider designating funds to the building fund over
the next 4 months (with December 18 being the last day to give to this
campaign.) The Board will be giving updates from the pulpit and
communicating our progress in the bulletin. We give God the glory in
working through His people, and we praise Him for this opportunity to
partner together in removing this mortgage payment from our debt. We
anticipate great things happening at Parkside as we look to the future in
continuing to share the Lord Jesus Christ in all that we do as His Church –
the Body of Christ.
We are very excited to announce Parkside Bible Church will
participate in Franklin Graham's Decision America Tour and be
represented on the steps of our state capitol on Tuesday, October
4th beginning at 12 Noon, and all Parkside members and friends
are invited. We be joining Franklin Graham and thousands of
other Christians from Michigan as Mr. Graham shares the gospel
and challenges Christians to pray fervently and faithfully for our
nation. Throughout 2016, Mr. Graham has been holding prayer
rallies in all 50 state capitals. We have arranged to use the church
van which will carry 15 passengers, and there are others who have
offered to drive their own car as needed. Please contact John
Tooke for additional information. You may also visit
