The Parkdale Messenger weekly news and musings from the little church moved by a Great Spirit. (click on the link to follow)

Three main reasons for having a weekly church messenger.

1. Because people do need the information printed and easily available. Sure, there will always be those who are oblivious to the helpfulness of the messenger,  but there are a dozen others that have found the information they needed.

2. Because it’s an opportunity to promote an event. Whether it’s an activity, theological reading or a sermon title the weekly messenger offers a tools to advertise.

3. Because visitors need something to do. Newcomers feel awkward: the environment is strange (unusual green church building) they don’t know anybody, they feel out of place. Reading the messenger gives them something “to hide behind” until a friendly church member can chat them up.
