A Note About Sabbatical

Baptism
If you would like to be baptized at our summer baptism picnic on August 10th, please reach out to Alex Kacere. He’ll be leading a baptism class this summer to help understand more about baptism and answer any questions. You can email him at alexkacere@gmail.com or call or text him at 330-749-6269.
Summer Prayer Nights
Let’s bring that sweet spirit of prayer back to Southside. On the last Wednesday of June, July, and August from 7:00-8:00pm, the church will be open to come pray together in groups or on your own simply near others. Hank Curry will be there each month and will have prompts to pray through for those who would find that helpful, but it’s simply an open invitation to make time to silently reflect, pray, and commune with God.
Monthly Game Nights
Are you looking for more opportunities to play games? Our resident gaming expert Jimmy Banks has a passion for games and creating space for fun to happen. On the last Saturday of each month from 6:00-9:00pm, the church will be open to come play games together. We have a stash of games available or you can bring your own. Jimmy will be there to help teach games if needed but other than that, it’s simply open space to have fun. The first game night will be June 28th!
Join the Prayer Chain
If you would like to join Southside’s prayer chain, talk to Janelle Richey or email her at janelle@southsidewooster.com.
Pamper & Play
Our Women’s Ministry team is planning a morning of pampering here at Southside on Saturday, June 21st from 10:00am-12:00pm. All women are welcome of any age! And for all those young moms out there, we’ll have childcare provided if you need it - so while you’re pampered, the kids can play! We’ll have opportunities to participate in restorative yoga, get your nails done, and have a mini massage. And you can simply relax sitting with others with some iced coffee and light snacks. Please RSVP in the Resource Room by June 8th!
High School Graduates
It’s that time of year again. If you are graduating from high school this spring, we’d like to launch you into the next phase of your life with lots of Southside love and support. No matter what your plans are for next year - school, military, gap year, work, whatever - we will have Southsiders who will send you care packages & pray for you throughout this upcoming year. Take a form, fill it out & return it at our information board in the lobby by June 8th.
Latest GRO Team Update
We recently purchased the building that is currently and temporarily located in the northeast corner of the parking lot. We hope to begin using it on Sunday mornings for the elementary school class later this spring once it is moved to its permanent location at the northeast section of our yard and once it is finished inside. Our timeline is dependent on the weather and the condition of the ground during spring rainfall.
