Happening Toda y

When you come to church, you don’t need to be experienced in the game of church. As a matter of fact, we try hard to ensure that nobody feels engaged in any kind of religious game. At Parkland, you don’t have to dress up in a particular uniform. You don’t have to be a particular age. Most of all, you don't have to feel the need to pretend to be anything other than who you really are. Just come as you are, pick up a cup of coffee or tea, and relax! One thing is for sure—no experience is necessary.

Our Worship Service is at 10:00am on Sunday Mornings.

KINDERGARTEN - GRADE 4 Children from Kindergarten to Grade 4 will be dismissed mid-way through the service for fun age-appropriate lessons and activi-ties. Watch for the scrolling mes-sage letting you know when to go to your class.
