New for Fall 2014


What is new for Fall of 2014?
Do you remember the feeling of starting a new school?  Two of our three daughters, Kathryn (our youngest)  and Samantha (our oldest) each started at new schools this year. Kathryn entered first grade at Morningside Elementary. No more elementary school for Alpha sister Samantha. She entered Inman Middle School. We are so thankful for the opportunities our children have here for education, friendship, and community.

Emily and I have some exciting new developments this Fall as well:
  • We have two wonderful new partners in the community: St. Paul's Presbyterian Church and Midtown Young Life.
  • Emily has begun part time work as a specialized reading tutor. 
  • Trent has joined the Inman Cross Walk Parent team. Just look for the neon green vest and large hand held stop sign.

New resources for ministry

Parkside Journals and  Parkside Mission INC Parkside Journals is the new website for Emily's ongoing development of resources to help you connect neighbors to a better knowledge of God and his word.  The heartbeat of our mission remains the same, bringing the truth and love of Christ to neighborhoods through creating resources and training leaders. Much of this ministry is done in partnership with the church planting mission, Dunwoody Presbyterian Church. Parkside Mission is funded completely by the donations of individuals and churches that partner with this ministry. Thanks, Trent and Emily McEntyre

Living on mission during transition - support material - seasons of life

When I began preparing for these talks I immediately thought of some the insights I heard from David English. Here is a background essay on the seasons of life we all go through.    I was in my early 40’s and something was happening to me emotionally. For twenty years I had been involved in Christian ministry and loved what I was doing. College students were a joy to me and I had worked with them in various positions of responsibility locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. I had a wonderful wife and four beautiful children. Outwardly everything seemed to be going great. But inwardly something was wrong. Something was missing. It was the same feeling that I had before I had become a Christian at age 19. Emotionally life was not making sense and I felt that it should because, after all, I had committed my life to Christ and I was serving Him with all my heart. There were two circumstances that I was faced with that added to my confusion. Campus Crusade was in the m...
