Sunday: “Hello My Name is God” June 9, 2007
Posted by Steve in : Weblog , add a commentWhat’s in a Name?
Does it really matter what someone calls you? Think about some of the names you’ve been given throughout your life – your birth name, a nickname, or maybe even a bit more creative and far more hurtful name. Names matter to God.Maybe the only thing you know about God’s name is that you shouldn’t use it in vain. But there’s so much more to know – including the fact that God has many different names. In the culture of the Bible, God’s names defined His character and power. His name meant everything to those who were desperate to understand Him.
Starting this week, Park Community Church begins a 9 week series looking at the names of God. Each name explaining, unfolding, and revealing something about the nature of God that is crucial for us in our 21st century world. Don’t miss this great opportunity to get to know God up close and personal. Grab some friends and check it out! Coming Up At Park:

SUNDAY: Why Me? Why Did I Survive? March 24, 2007
Posted by Steve in : Chicago, Sunday Services, Church , add a commentUnited Airlines Flight 232 was a scheduled flight operated by United Airlines between Denver and Philadelphia via Chicago. On July 19, 1989, the Douglas DC-10 operating this flight suffered an uncontained failure of its number 2 engine (mounted in the tail), which destroyed all three of the aircraft’s hydraulic systems. With no controls working except the power levers for the two remaining engines, it broke up during an emergency landing on the runway at Sioux City, Iowa killing 110 of its 285 passengers and one of the 11 crew members. See the video. Owing to the skill of the crew and a DC-10 instructor pilot, 175 passengers and 10 crew members survived.
Why me? Why did I survive? Why did I receive life why others died? These are some of the questions survivors were asking after surviving the crash. Our own Teaching Pastor, Ron May, was among those who survived the harrowing experience, while traveling at the time to take a deposition in a legal case, and will talk about God’s grace among the wreckage. This is an awesome opportunity for you to invite your non-churched friends to answer some of life’s real questions. Join us at Park Community Church this Sunday —we meet at Francis Parker School at 2233 N Clark Street at 9:00 am, 11:00 am and 5:30 pm.
