Communion @ South Church
Dec 1 @ 9:30 am – 12:00 pm
Communion @ South Church

This Sunday we will have the opportunity to celebrate communion together, live and online. We are glad for the opportunity to participate again in something that followers of Jesus have been celebrating for over 2000 years, as we focus on the atoning death of our Savior.

Not all of us we will be able to be together physically, but we will be together spiritually, sharing in God’s Word, so we put together this “Communion at Home Guide” for you. 

  1. Prepare your own bread and cup to use during the communion time.
  2. Before the service, spend time prayerfully reflecting on the sacrifice of Jesus. We encourage you to read passages like Luke 22:7-20 and 1 Corinthians 11: 23-28 to help you prepare as well.
  3. Spend time examining your heart before the service.  We believe that the Communion meal is for believers, members of Christ’s body, who are sincerely following Him.
  4. Talk to your kids about communion.  Perhaps share your story of coming to faith in Christ with them (and guide them as to whether they themselves should participate at this time).
  5. Join us for our online service this Sunday at 9:30 a.m.

We’re so looking forward to worshipping together with you, as we share in music of worship, receive God’s Word and celebrate communion together.

Equippers @ South Church Chapel
Jan 12 @ 6:00 pm – 7:15 pm
Equippers @ South Church Chapel

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

Bible/Theology courses will focus on knowing God through His Word—the Bible. These courses will equip you to know God more deeply as you study His Word.

Spiritual Formation courses will focus on being a more mature follower of Christ. These courses will equip you to be more confident and consistent in living the Christian life as you are led by God’s Word and Spirit.

Ministry Training courses will focus on doing the works of service which God has planned for you. These courses will equip you to do the ministry activities which are commanded in His Word.

Equippers meets on Sunday Nights

Wednesday Women’s Bible Study @ Rm 201
Jan 22 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

When Faith Becomes Sight: Heaven by Jennifer RothschildHeaven. Who goes there? Where is it? What will we do there? Questions like these arise when we consider an eternal future beyond this physical life. How can we know the truth about what comes next?  In this 7-session video-based Bible study workbook, Jennifer Rothschild explores the subject of Heaven from a biblical perspective. She will separate what’s true about Heaven from what’s based on legend, media depictions, and hopeful guesses. As you walk through the study, you’ll not only gain a deeper understanding of what God has prepared for His children, but also learn how to live with confidence today as you look forward to the glorious unending that awaits. Don’t just wonder about Heaven—embrace it with a faith that turns anticipation into excitement and peace.

Wednesdays, 6:30 pm – Room 201
Beginning January 15th
Workbook $22.00 with video access
Facilitated by Tiffany Wilkinson and Melissa Gray
*Nursery, Awana and Youth activities are available for women attending the study.
