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.
NOV. 3RD, 7:00-8:30PM
SLOWING DOWN: A PANEL DISCUSSION
Life is so crazy busy. Even if our schedules aren’t full, our minds and hearts can still be going 100 miles per hour. How do we learn to slow down and create space in our lives for Jesus, other people, and our own souls? Sisterhood invites everyone (men and women) to attend “Slowing Down: A Panel Discussion” on Nov. 3rd from 7:00-8:30pm where we’ll discuss navigating chaotic seasons of life with the counter-intuitive act of slowing down (To reserve childcare, email [email protected] with children’s names and ages).
NOV. 14TH, 9:00 + 10:45AM
BAPTISM SUNDAY
Baptism is a declaration of a decision to trust Jesus and deciding to live in his way with his heart. We love celebrating baptisms and want to do so together as a church family. If you’re a follower of Jesus and haven’t been baptized, Nov. 14th is your day! Take the first step by filling out our Baptism Interest Form and we will be in contact with you.
NOV. 21ST, 5:30-8:00PM
WORSHIP NIGHT + CHILI COOK-OFF
Enjoy a time of reflection and thanksgiving, plus, compete in some tasty competition! Bring your best pot of chili to our Worship Night + Chili Cook-off on Nov. 21st from 5:30-8:00pm for your chance to win prizes (other soups or side dishes also welcome). We’ll start the evening off taste-testing together, and then gather in the sanctuary to thank God for all he’s done over the past year. This event serves as a great opportunity to pause and focus our hearts on Jesus before the busy holiday season. Hope to see you there!
WEEKDAY MORNINGS
THE DAILY

ONGOING
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, 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.
