Calendar

MOSAIC MINISTRIES:  Don’t sit home alone this New Years Eve!  12-31-2021.  Join other Senior Adult Singles for an evening for food and fun until the ball drops and a new year begins.  We will start by meeting for dinner at Logan’s Steakhouse at 5 pm.  After dinner we will head over to South Church where we will carpool over to Verndale Apartments.  The community room is reserved for fun and games.  Verndale Apartments does not offer much parking for guests, so carpooling from the church is a good option.  Bring games and some favorite snacks and beverages.

Men’s Prayer

Each month, Men of South gather for prayer the first Saturday, in room 205 and over Zoom online at 8:30AM. This Saturday will be a much-needed, powerful time of joining together in prayer. Men, please come, and let’s pray for revival for our church, our city, our state, our country and our world.

“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16

On December 19th, 26th and January 2nd, our Worship Services will be combined in the Worship Center at 9:30 AM & 11:05 AM.

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.

We are currently offering three morning services – two Creative Services in the Chapel, and a Balanced Service in the Worship Center. Adult Bible Communities, student ministries, children’s ministries and nursery are available during the 9:30AM service.

Tuesday Evening Men’s Study

7:00 – 8:00 PM BY ZOOM
Our time together begins with fellowship and prayer. Usually, we have a Scripture to read or review from our study book. Then we study by discussing the questions from our lesson.

During the discussion, the men are free to raise situations or issues that they are facing. Our goal is to go beyond knowledge and understanding to gain wisdom. We do that by thinking of ways to apply God’s truth to our lives. We have 3 rules: 1) We try to be prepared to answer the questions. 2) We don’t give advice but offer counsel. 3) Everything is to be held confidential. We always close with prayer requests and prayer.

We are very informal and enjoy getting to know each other. Many of our men are older, mature Christians, and all of us wish to be all that Christ would have us to be.

This is a great time to join in! We are currently studying, being God’s man…by walking a new path.
