Courageous Movie Tickets

Church Family and Community Friends,


Our church is renting out the theater at Friendly Center on Sunday evening, October 2 for the Courageous movie.  The movie begins at 4:00.  Tickets will be available for purchase this Wednesday evening, Thursday evening, and all day on Sunday.  The price for each ticket is $5.75 each.  Make your checks payable to Southside and write Courageous in the memo section.  The tellers will be available to receive your check and to give you your tickets at the time of purchase.

We would like to challenge all of you to come and invite friends or family that may not be active in church or that may be struggling in marriage or in their family life.  After purchasing tickets for them and spending time with them, you can go out to dinner and share your thought and the love of Christ with them.

Please pray about who God would have you invite and lets use this opportunity to reach out and seek to grow the kingdom and our ministry here at Southside.

I am excited to see what God has in store.

My Sweet Mother!


Here is a picture of me and my sweet mother.  She is one of the most amazing and strong women I have ever known.  I am so thankful for her love, faith and courage.  I am who I am because of her.  Thank you mom for being such a blessing to my life.  I love you.

September 11th @ Southside

This coming Sunday will be a mighty and great day for our church and community.  We will begin with a church wide breakfast at 8:30.  Afterwards, we will have high attendance day in Sunday school as we dedicate all of our new classes to the Lord for the coming year.  At 11:00 our celebration choir will present to us a musical about our freedom in Christ as Christians and Americans.  This will be a time for us to remember the tragic and life altering events of 9/11.  Please join us as we prepare for a day of prayer, worship and remembrance.

Happy birthday Paul


Today is Paul's 4th birthday.  It is hard to believe that our youngest is now 4.  Paul enjoyed a great party with lots of his friends this past Saturday night at church.  Today, Laura and I were blessed to be home with him since it was Labor Day.  We enjoyed all of his favorite things and he really enjoyed eating out tonight at his favorite restaurant. As I think about Paul, the one word that describes him best is the word "compassionate."  Laura and I sense that God has a mighty plan for his life and we can not wait to see how God uses him and blesses him in the years to come.
