Blue Christmas

Blue Christmas is a service that acknowledges suffering and offers hope. Come worship with us in a service that is far from gloomy. We enjoy jazz music, we sing together, we hear the parable Ragman instead of a sermon and there’s no offering collected. We also have a time for personal prayer for any who desire it. It is wonderful service to invite seekers or non-seekers of all ages. The service will also be streamed at parkstreet.org/live.

Early Morning Women’s Bible Study
A small group of women is looking to form a Women’s Bible Study that meets before working hours, beginning in the new year. If you’re interested in joining, please email womensministry@parkstreet.org.
Fourth Quarter Giving Update
During the last weeks of the year our congregation’s Ministries & Operations (M&O) and Missions giving is hoped to be $750,000 for M&O and $340,000 for Missions. While the remaining need may seem daunting, take heart; it is typical for 30% or more of the annual budgets to be funded by our gifts given in the last several weeks of the year.
Please pray, remembering that each of us should give sacrificially as we are able, and that God loves a cheerful giver. Please remember that gifts intended for Missions must be specifically designated as such.
