From the Pastor: 

Hey Southside Family! I’ve been so glad to see noticeable positive things happening around our church:

 

It feels so good to see someone’s face light up when they walk into our rear foyer for the first time and see our new and improved coffee bar and fellowship area. My son, Cash, and I walk out to the prayer garden together at least once a week now (by his request/demand). The improvements made there are already so beautiful. The work on our new website is coming along nicely. It’s a modern and classy attempt to capture our essence for those digitally exploring our church. Also, we’re praying and actively looking for our new Next Gen Ministry Director to relaunch and oversee our Youth and Kids ministries. Currently, my wife and I have restarted a youth Sunday school class. And of course, our Children’s Team put together such a great VBS in June that 14 kids loved being a part of. On Weds. night before VBS, our group prayer walked the grounds. The week before that, over a dozen volunteers canvassed the neighborhood to post VBS flyers on front doors.

 

What are all these things I’m pointing out? Tangible examples of real work leading to actual results. Brothers and sisters, that excites me and I hope it excites you too! Let’s keep our hands to the plow and seek out more to do together.

 

Remember the great words of William Carey: “Expect great things from God! Attempt great things for God!”

 

-Love,

Bro. Matt
