Sunday FUNday

This Sunday, September 8 from 11:30 to 1:30 will be our annual Sunday FUNday block party.  We are inviting everyone connected with Southern Heights, friends, family, as well as all our neighbors to enjoy big bounce houses, yard games, food, slushies, music, prizes, so many good things.  Come and bring everyone you know.  It is always an amazing time.

DO YOU HAVE ANY YARD GAMES?  We could use some fun yard games spread around the grounds during the Sunday FUNday event.  If you have some that we could borrow that day, please let Jeff Baas know (jmbaas1@gmail.com). Thank you.

KICKOFF SUNDAY – SEPTEMBER 15

EDUCATION HOUR

Starting Sunday, September 15 we will have our Education Hour from 9-10am.  This is for Middle School, High School and Adults.  Come and participate in an in-depth Bible Study lesson for your specific group and learn and grow together in your faith.

.

Adult Bible Study is doing a series called “Healing the Racial Divide”.  Join the group at 9am in the Conference Room.

CHURCH PICTURE

Immediately after worship on Kickoff Sunday, September 15, we will all go outside for a quick church picture together.  It doesn’t matter if you’re here for the first time or the 1000th time, we want you in the picture.  It is a great way to see everyone, the whole church family, together.  Please don’t miss this important event.

Student Ministries

Sunday evenings will be dedicated to our Students in High School and Middle School.  They will alternate Sundays with each other.

High School will be 1st and 3rd Sundays from 6-8pm.

Middle School will be 2nd and 4th Sundays from 6-8pm.

Then on the 5th Sundays they will both do something special, what will it be?… They’ll find out and it will be good.  Kickoff Sunday, September 15 at 6:00pm, the High School Ministry begins.  Bring friends and check out the new remodeled carpeting, tile and paint.  It will be looking great for our students and friends.

1st & 3rd Wednesday Ministries

Kicking off on Wednesday, September 18 we will begin our 1st & 3rd Wednesday Ministries day.  There is so much activity.  It starts in the morning at 10:00am when the Women’s ministry meets in the conference room.  Later in the day at 5:15pm there will be a light supper of pizza and chips and cookies to make it easy for families to not have to worry about dinner these nights.  Then at 6pm we will have GEMS (1st -5th grade girls) and Cadets (1st to 5th grade boys), and Women’s Ministry (Same lesson as 10am) and Men’s Ministry.  So much good learning and times together.  Bring your friends and enjoy an active ministry day on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays.

Gems (girls) and Cadets (boys) will start the evening together with songs and Bible Memory.  Then they will go to their own groups for special lessons, games, crafts just for them.  Their friends will love it as well.

The Women’s ministry will be doing a study based on “The Chosen” series.  They will have two identical lessons, one at 10am and the other at 6pm.

The Men’s ministry will be doing a study on Revelation this fall.  Come and dig in to this interesting study.  Bring your friends as well.  6pm to 7:30pm on 1st and 3rd Wednesdays.

New Water Fountain/Bottle Fillers

The Council approved the purchase and installation of 2 new Water fountain/bottle fillers.  One in the lobby near the info table, and the other in the lower level hallway near the Fellowship Hall.  Both have water fountains and behind that, they have automatic water bottle fillers.  They contain filtered water so it tastes great and they keep track of how many plastic water bottles have been saved.  Enjoy.

Kids Hope

In the past, Southern Heights has partnered with a local school through the “Kids Hope” program.  Amberley Elementary school has expressed an interest in starting a Kids Hope partnership with a church.   We could not do that without a dedicated volunteer leader.  If you think you might be that leader, please contact Jeff Baas (jmbaas1@gmail.com) for more information.
