Every year about a thousand pastors come to Parkside for a conference. Because of that we won’t be having Club JV. So here’s a great opportunity to get together with some friends and chill on your own. If you want you’re welcome to come to the pastor’s conference and visit an evening session to see what it’s all about. Just so you know what it looks like it’ll be about an hour and a half or so. A man called John Dickson from Australia (so he has a cool accent) will be talking about the Church and Pastors and what a Pastors job is. Come if you like I know a few leaders will be there to listen to John Dickson’s talk.
Looking forward to seeing those that come!

Parkside MS now has it’s own phone number where you can text in your questions. Questions about the Bible, relationships, stuff at school, whatever! Here’s all you have to do - text your question to 440-584-0275. Roughly translated that’s 440JVG0ASK. The only problem there is that the 0 in Go is a zero not the letter O - but you get the point. 440-584-0275. Text Away!

Hey All,
This Tuesday (April 11th) at Club JV I’ve invited the parents to come along. If you’re curious what that means it’ll look a little like this: We’ll spend the first part of the night like we normally would talking, hanging out, and playing some games, then we’ll do a few activities as a group including worship and a game or two. Then I’ll take all the parents with me over to the Loft side of the warehouse and we’ll spend some time talking while the students are taught from the Bible by Chris Beals. It should be a great night. If you’re a parent and are wondering what exactly we’ll be talking about it will be a time that is hopefully encouraging and challenging as we think about partnering together in student ministry and the upcoming summer. So we’ll see you there: Tuesday 7:00-9:00pm.
Thanks - really looking forward to Tuesday!

T.C.T. is back baby!! It’s going to be bigger and better than ever. It’s 4 weeks of what is going to be a great time. Starting March 8th we’ll be splitting up into 4 teams and competing for a month. We’ll have huge inflatables, fun games, and occasionally we might even feed you too. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to invite your friends so they can be a part of the Fun and learn about God at the same time. Teams will be awarded points for winning competitions, bringing their friends and all sorts of other things that we’ll come up with. You can look at the rest of the flyer HERE. If you want to see some pictures from the last time we had T.C.T. back in 2009 you can check those out here. We’re in the lab working to make this the best it can be - so do your part, invite your friends and we’ll see you there!

Movie night at the warehouse Friday the 25th. We’re going to be watching Evan Almighty. Bring a snack to eat - we’ll start the movie as close to 6:30 as possible and then we’re going to discuss it for a few minutes afterwards - nothing crazy just a few minutes to talk about the main themes and to help us think about how we watch movies as Christians. See you on the 25th!

February 1
No powerhouse tonight due to the weather. Have a great night!
