“Symphony” (I Lift My Hands) with Louie Giglio
It’s staggering when we begin to realize that all creation is singing
the praises of the One who fashioned and formed the Universe.
Yet, singing stars and earth’s ovation cannot drown God’s desire
to hear your voice. In the midst of a miraculous and immense
symphony of praise, God is still mindful of you, going to
extraordinary lengths to give you life and breath through His Son.
Dr. Seuss’s film “Horton Hears A Who”
Horton, an elephant with sensitive hearing, comes to the rescue of
the microscopic “Who’s” who live in a world so small that it fits
in a speck of dust.

5. CHURCH
NEW: “Grace” - DVD study with Max Lucado
(Meeting in the Board Room)
Max Lucado asks: Have you been changed by grace? Shaped by grace?
Strengthened by grace? Emboldened by grace? Softened by grace? Snatched
by the nape of your neck and shaken to your senses by grace? Grace is the voice
that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off. Let’s make
certain grace gets you. Attend this Sunday School class and learn about Grace!
Continued: The Gospel of John (Meeting in the middle adult room)
This mixed adult class continues the Bible exposition of the Gospel of John and
will include class discussions led by various Parkside teachers as we seek to
grow in our faith and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, revealed in
Scripture so that we may have life in His name.
NEW: Luke: Finding Truth & Healing in Jesus’
Words to Women (Meeting in the new adult classroom)
Jesus often showed women acceptance, compassion, and understanding.
In each lesson of this insightful study of Luke, we will focus on a conversation
between Jesus and a woman, showing how he helped free them of their
negative feelings and destructive behaviors---and encouraged them to
embrace healthy attitudes and positive actions. You will have your own
encounter with Jesus and learn how truly valuable you are to him.
