Baby Dedication - Nov 8th
We will be having a baby dedication on Sunday, November 8th at our 10:30am service. If you have a child you would like to have dedicated, or if you are interested about what this means for you and your child and want to learn more, please sign up in the Resource Room by October 11th.
Annual Congregational Meeting
October 14th, 7:00-8:30pm
We keep talking about our first Annual Congregational Meeting because it's important! Can you tell? We’ll cover a lot of ground about where we’ve come from as a church and where we’re headed. One new piece of information: we'll be providing decaf coffee and desserts for our time together that evening, so if you weren't already excited, get excited!
If you are a member, you will be able to vote on whether or not to confirm some bylaw changes. But all are invited and welcome to attend the evening no matter your membership status.
We will have childcare provided, we just ask that you register for that at the Welcome Desk in the lobby to let us know how many kids and what age(s) they are.
Garden Team & Work Day
We’re nearing the end of the first year’s harvest of our Community Garden! And as the season closes, Stephanie Grenert is already planning ahead and taking steps for the garden to flourish again next year. To make that happen, we are in need of some volunteers on Sunday, October 25th. We will have a workday after the 10:30 service, terminating the summer crops, pulling weeds, and mulching.
We will also need volunteers to join our Garden Team for next year. After the 10:30 service on Sunday, November 15th, Stephanie will hold a meeting for all those interested in being on our Garden Team. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP in the Resource Room.
Southside Fall Read
As we had read Ordinary over the summer, Greg has selected another book for the fall season that we're encouraging everyone to read together as a church. It's called An Unhurried Life: Following Jesus' Rhythms of Work and Rest by Alan Fadling. We’re reading just one chapter a week, and we’re just a couple chapters in so you can jump right in on chapter 3 with us this week. The last 3 copies are available in the Resource Room for $10 each.
Wish List
We have an Amazon wish list that we update periodically with current needs as an option to serve Southside for those who are looking for small sporadic opportunities. Purchasing items from this list helps to make our Sunday morning gatherings thrive - anything from diapers for the nursery, to snacks for our Kids Ministry, to basic cleaning supplies. You can view the list here.
