Hope for the Caregiver Seminar – Session #4
Join Pastor Doug Phillips, David Seal, Kuana Richardson, Kelly Sites, and guest speaker Lisa Regan. Lisa is a patient and family advocate and consultant, specializing in assisting individuals with many caregiving challenges. Some examples of her work for caregivers includes explaining difficult terminology, communicating with hospitals and doctors, connecting families to various resources for medical, financial, or legal needs, locating and vetting care facilities or agencies that provide in-home help.
In addition to Lisa’s presentation, there will be a time dedicated to spiritual guidance and encouragement for the caregiver, and a segment sharing some tools for self-care aimed at strengthening caregiver resilience.
The second part of this seminar will include various breakout rooms. The breakout rooms are designed to give you an opportunity to ask complex medical, spiritual or selfcare questions and point you to resources to help with these difficult issues.
This seminar is to support and encourage those who are or will be in a care giving role.
Men in Prayer meets the first Saturday of each month. Join us Saturday, at 8:30 am in the Fireside Room. Find more information on the South Church Men’s Ministry Facebook page or contact Pastor Tim at tvanloh@southlife.org.
God is bringing the nations to Lansing on a weekly basis.

Sunday Morning Schedule
Adult Bible Communities (ABCs) are a great place to connect and study the Word on Sunday mornings. Join an ABC this Fall. Groups of varied stages of life focus on learning God’s Word together. For more information, visit our website or contact Pastor Keith Sova at keithsova@southlife.org
We will celebrate baptisms on Sunday, November 5 during our evening service. Our Board of Deacons will be recommending candidates for membership in a few weeks. Their pictures will be displayed in the west hallway on the bulletin board so you can connect a name with a face. A congregational meeting has been called for November 5 after our baptismal service to accept these candidates into membership.
The Kingdom Rock Choir rehearsals take place on Sunday evenings at 6 PM, from September 17th until the Spring show in May. This kids’ choir is for students from 3rd grade to 7th grade, to ensure children who missed a year because of Covid shut-downs are able to participate.

A Study on Prayer, from Kelly Minter, Jackie Hill Perry, Jen Wilkin, Jennifer Rothschild, Jada Edwards and Kristi McLelland.
Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.
