Summer Housing Needed: Alex Tulsie is a freshman at Grace Bible College and has been
attending Parkside for the past few months. He is interested in going into pastoral ministry
full time. He will be staying in the Holland area this summer (May-August) working full-time
at Stone Plastics in Zeeland. He will also be mentored throughout the summer by Pastor Gary
getting valuable experience in pastoral areas. Would anyone be interested in opening up their
home for him to live with you for part of the summer or the whole 4 months? He is more than
willing to cut the grass, paint the house, build a shed, etc. to pay the rent. If you would con-
sider this possibility, please contact the church office at 399-4410 and speak to Pastor Gary.

Dear Parkside Family: Thank you for your prayers, cards and phone calls regarding
my April 1 eye surgery for glaucoma and astigmatism. The surgery was to relieve
pressure and pain by placing a stent in my tear duct. It was only the 2nd procedure
of its kind ever done and I’m very thankful that it seems to have gone well. Your
concern is heart-warming and greatly appreciated!
Ginny Tennant
