Jonah Series Begins This Sunday
Most of us know Jonah as the prophet who was swallowed by a great fish. But the book of Jonah is about much more than a storm at sea. It’s a story of God’s relentless grace, surprising mercy, and His pursuit of people who would rather run the other way.
Join us this Sunday as we begin a journey through Jonah. A story that challenges our assumptions about God, ourselves, and the people around us. Along the way, we’ll discover what it means to trust God’s heart, participate in His mission, and embrace the mercy He freely gives.
Whether you’ve heard Jonah’s story a hundred times or are exploring it for the first time, we invite you to join us as we learn how God’s grace can reshape our own stories.
Promotion Sunday
Next Sunday is a big day for many of our Elementary and Youth students as they take their next step into new classes for the 2026-2027 school year!
On Sunday, June 7, we will move up into their next grade-level environments. Some will be stepping into new classrooms, some will be joining our Middle School and High School ministries, and some will be participating fully in our worship service.
We encourage parents to spend some time this week talking with their students about the transition. Celebrate what they’ve experienced this year, answer any questions they may have, and help build excitement for what’s ahead.
While most kids make the change seamlessly and are eager for what’s next, every child is different, and we know change can sometimes feel overwhelming. If you think your child(ren) may need a little extra support as they move into their new environment, please reach out—we would love to partner with you to help make Promotion Sunday a positive and encouraging experience.
We can’t wait to celebrate all God is doing as our students take this next step together!

Connect
Community at The ParkAt The Park, the community doesn’t stop on Sundays; connection continues as we share life together throughout the week. Our communities gather in living rooms, around tables, and on back porches to grow in their faith and follow Jesus side by side. Whether it’s a Bible study, book club, movie night, or something uniquely you, every group carries the same heart: discipleship in everyday life.
There’s a place for you here. Explore current groups and what’s new at theparksa.org/groups. And if you’re considering starting a group of your own, we’d love to help you think through what that could look like, you can reach out to Nancy Gaines at nancy@theparksa.org.

Spiritual Formation Resources
Small Group Discussion Questions
Looking for a simple way to stay connected to Scripture throughout the week? Each week, we post discussion questions that align with Sunday’s sermon to help you continue engaging God’s Word beyond Sunday morning. These questions are designed to be used with your family, your small group, or on your own as a rhythm of weekly Scripture reflection.
Whether you’re around a dinner table, in a living room, or opening your Bible on a quiet morning, this is an easy way to keep the conversation going and let the sermon shape your week.
You can find the weekly questions by clicking here.
Worship at The Park
Worship through music is an integral part of our practices at The Park. Whether you leave our services wanting to know “What was that song?” or want to come prepared or need a way to sit in the presence of the Lord during your week, here is a playlist of the songs we’re currently worshiping with at The Park.
