Parkstone Baptist Church gathers together each Sunday morning from 10.30am.
We usually meet for about 70 minutes. Most folk stay on for a while longer since we enjoy each other's company, usually with a drink of tea, coffee or water in hand.
Folk tend to start arriving from around 10.15am, to greet each other and have a chat together before we begin at 10.30am.
What's coming up on Sundays?
We are now nearing the end of our journey through John's Gospel. It's been an epic adventure for us as church, lasting nearly two years!
We've taken time to read together and learn from the encounters that many different people had with Jesus, which John then wrote about for us.
We have discovered afresh how John helps us to believe more in Jesus as the Son of God, and by believing in Jesus we have discovered more about life in his name. This is the reason that John gave for writing his Gospel (John chapter 20 verse 31).
We'd love you to join us as we complete our journey and take some time to look back.
In these final steps of our journey as we move up to and beyond Easter, we join Jesus on the road to the cross and the tomb and on to the encounters which the risen Jesus had with his followers. We're calling this series "The son is glorified".

How can I catch up with the things you've been learning from John's Gospel?
We have been putting together a series of very short videos covering key things we have learned, and questions we have posed, and we are posting them up to our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
There should be a new video posted every few days, as we catch up with our Sunday mornings.
