Embracing Spiritual Practices
Learning grace is the process of transformation. We are convinced transformation happens by grace as we align our lives with the gospel, and ‘tune our hearts to see God’s grace’. It is our desire to be a learning community who embraces spiritual practices with joy. We participate in worship, prayer, scripture reading, memorization, sabbath, generosity, silence, solitude, and more because we believe actively training ourselves through healthy spiritual rhythms directs our whole selves toward being formed into the image of our Lord and Rabbi, Jesus.
LAUNCHING SEPT. 19TH, 9:00-10:30AM
REDEMPTIVE COMPASSION
As Jesus followers, we are called to serve those around us. But how do we do that in a way that’s empowering rather than enabling? Redemptive Compassion is a class that focuses on investing relationally, seeing potential in others, and encouraging transformation. If you’re interested in serving people well, this class is for you! Join us for 10 weeks starting Sunday, Sept. 19th at 9am. Please register online to let us know you’re coming.
LAUNCHING SEPT. 19TH, 10:30AM-12:00PM
EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS
Have you ever wondered why we recycle the same problems year after year? Broken relationships, unresolved conflicts, inability to speak the truth…we spend a lot of money becoming competent in our careers, but few of us have gained the skills to love well.
This season, we invite you to journey with us through “Emotionally Healthy Relationships,” an 8-week course designed to help you develop mature, loving relationships with others and grow in your personal relationship with Jesus. Launches Sunday, Sept. 19th from 10:30am-12:00pm.
LAUNCHING AUG. 16TH, 6-9PM
PERSPECTIVES
Come discover what God is doing in the world and how you can be woven into His redemption story! You’re invited to attend Perspectives; a 15-week course that explores God’s desire for every people group to know Him. This course will help you understand how God can use you through praying, sending, learning, welcoming, going and mobilizing for His mission. Class begins Monday, August 16th from 6-9pm at Waterstone Community Church. For details and pricing, please visit the registration page.

PRAYER REQUEST ENEWSLETTER
Here at South, we desire to be a community rooted in prayer. One simple way for each of us to anchor ourselves in this practice is to subscribe to our Prayer Request enewsletter. Each week you’ll receive a list of prayer requests from our church community, Food Bank guests, missionaries we support around the world and more. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to subscribe online and take some time to bring these requests to God each week. Thank you!
WEDNESDAYS ONLINE, 6:30-8:30PM
WATCHMEN PRAYER
The Watchman Prayer ministry invites Christians to focus on the Lord in worship and His word while praying for the salvation and healing of people locally and around the world. We seek to encourage prayer in every area of the church and believe it to be the foundation through which the Lord will work in our midst.
