Do you have a prayer need? We have a prayer room to the right of the platform; if you would like to
pray with someone after the service this is the ideal place to do it. If you have a prayer request you
would like us to pray for, fill out the green card found on the back table and place it in the offering.
Or if you have a prayer request during the week, email it to parkdalechurch@shaw.ca. We can
keep it quiet or share it with some of our prayer groups. The elders are also available for prayer,
support, and encouragement: David, Brian, Andy, Dave, and Walter.
