WINTER RETREAT
We will be going to Bair Lake Bible Camp for their Winter Blitz Retreat weekend: https://www.blbc.com/!
Please read through these instructions carefully, to review both our registration and cancellation policies.
REGISTRATION
Fill out the online registration form. You will receive an automatic email confirmation once you’ve registered.
WAIVERS
You will need to have a current South permission form. These are updated annually.
PAYMENT
To reserve your spot, please send cash or check to Jessica Doerr by mailing it to the church (please specify “c/o Jessica Doerr” and indicate Jr. High Winter Retreat), or by handing it to her in an envelope labeled with the student’s name. Because there are limited spots for Winter Retreat, your registration spot will be saved upon payment. Checks payable to South Church.
Cost: $120/student, $100 for each sibling after the first student. Please talk to Joel if finances are an issue.
Jessica will send you an email to confirm payment and provide more details closer to the event.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Upon completing the online registration form, you are responsible for payment. If you cancel at any point after registration, you are still held responsible for payment, unless we are able to fill your reserved spot. The closer to retreat you cancel, the harder it will be for us to fill your reserved spot.
DEADLINE (EXTENDED to 1/15)
The deadline to sign up for Winter Retreat is Wednesday, January 15. Do not wait until the last week to sign up if you know you’d like to go. There are only 30 spots for this retreat (15 boys, 15 girls).

Equippers kicks off on Sunday, January 12 and continues through March 23.
Ephesians 4:11-12 “And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ…”
Are you equipped for the Christian life? Whether new to the faith or a seasoned believer, we all need to be continually equipped for ministry, which is why we organize the “Equippers” series each year.
The authentic Christian life is an integration of knowing, being, and doing, which is why the Equippers courses are divided into the three content areas described below. Please take time to explore and register today Equippers_https://southlife.org/wp-content/uploads/Equippers_BRO_2025.pdf
