HAPPENING TODAY

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.

time to prepare your heart to

give to God in worship. 3
