Gatherings

Parkside Gatherings are an opportunity to connect with other Parksiders through social & spiritual connection in larger settings.  It can be a wonderful way to see a fuller expression of the larger Parkside Community and beyond.

  • Fairy Fun & Dancing – costumes welcome, but not required

  • Storytelling & Theater – we'll read a few scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream. No experience needed—just show up and join in (or sit back and watch)!

    Cost?
    Free! Just bring your smile (and a side dish if you can).

    Because community is magical. Let's enjoy summer together!

BOOK EXCHANGE

August 16, 23, & 30
In the social hall during coffee hour

Hi from Michael Dack.

So, I have a number of books that I would be glad to part with – some church related, some pastoring related, some not. And initially, I thought about just bringing them to church and inviting people to take whatever they want. Then I thought that maybe other people also have books that they’d be glad to part with… and maybe we can do something with that.

So long story longer, I’m inviting y’all to participate in a book exchange! We’ll have two or three tables set up on the stage in the Social Hall on August 16, 23, & 30. Whoever wants can bring whatever books they’d like to part with on the 16th.

People can take whatever books they want and leave a donation for the church of however much they want in the basket that will be conveniently placed with the books. After August 30, I will gather up the leftover books and take them to the Friends of the Sacramento Library donation center.

Easy peasy!
