Sunday Ministries
Sundays At The Park
Our name, The Park Pentecostal Church, has been chosen for good reason – not just because we are in Sherwood Park. A stroll through a park gives you a place of refuge, times of refreshing, an atmosphere to develop relationships, to refine some of your muscles and release some energy.
Our church is much the same but in the spiritual rather than physical realm.
Here you will find:
A Place of Refuge and safety
Times of Refreshing in the Lord
Great Relationships with other believers
Refinement in your spiritual walk
A place of release for your ministry gifts
Prayer and Praise
Prayer and Praise is an intimate time of worship and prayer that takes place on the 1st Sunday night of each month at 6:00 pm in the chapel. Music usually consists of a guitar and/or piano with a blend of older and newer songs. The main focus of this evening is a time of prayer for our church and community
Greeters
Walmart isn’t the only place that has greeters. When you arrive on a Sunday morning, you are sure to get a smile and warm handshake from one of our Park Greeters. If you like to meet people and want to help assimilate new families into our church, this ministry is for you. Greeters meet a couple of times a year for training.
Ushers
Consider becoming an usher here at The Park. Ushers assist people in finding a seat, hand out bulletins, information packets, take up the offering and help in security around the building. Becoming an usher is a great way to get involved in the church and get to know the people in the congregation. Commitment is just one or two Sundays per month.
Water Baptism
Every couple of months, water baptisms by immersion happen during the Sunday morning service. The Bible teaches that every believer should be baptized as a declaration of his/her faith in God.
Watch your bulletin for baptism dates.
Communion
Communion is customarily held on the first Sunday of each month, usually during morning service. Communion involves the preparation of the emblems and a team of stewards who serve communion to the congregation. Often, those serving are called upon to pray for people who come forward for healing during this celebration.
Date: 1st Sunday of the month
Baby Dedications & Other Ceremonies
Need to have your baby dedicated? Is there a wedding in your future? The pastors are available to perform these ceremonies and will be happy to meet with you to discuss your needs.
InfoCentre
Recently a new Information Centre was installed at center of the church lobby. This is staffed by volunteers who are acquainted with the various ministries of the church and are willing to share this information with anyone who comes to the booth. The Information Centre is also the place to order CDs of the services, acquire tickets for special events and access the donation debit machine.
Altar Ministry
Whenever you come to The Park, prayer is always an important part of a service. The Pastor often calls people forward who would like someone to agree with him/her over a need. This is when our trained Altar Workers are utilized. This ministry is for mature believers who have a solid grasp of God’s Word, understand our doctrines and are used in the gifts of the Spirit. Training is available at various times throughout the year.
