Dear Parkside Family: Life has been a whirlwind the past few

weeks, but I paused this week to again read through the dozens

and dozens of cards, notes and letters that you sent us away

with. I found myself with a smile on my face as I remembered

some great memories and treasured friendships. Thank you

so much for the gifts of love and for the wonderful sendoff,

celebration service and dinner you provided for us. We were

able to finally find a house this past week and hopefully the timing works out for us

to move in right after we leave our home in Holland after Holly’s graduation on

June 1. Thank you again for your prayers for me and Amy and for our family

during this transition time of God’s leading.

Because He Lives, Pastor Rob

Dear Church Family: Thank you all for your prayers and cards during my surgery

and rehabilitation. All is going well—slowly but surely.

In Christ’s Love, Jean Foulkes

Dear Friends at Parkside: Thank you so much for the cards, prayers and visits

during the recent loss of my dad. Parkside is such a caring church!

Blessings, Melva Russcher
