Blessing Bags – Please return ASAP
If you took a “Blessing Bag” home to fill up with goodies for a student or leader on the Mission Trip, please return the filled bag ASAP to the table in the lobby with the red table cloth. This will mean a lot to all the students and leaders to have their own Blessing Bag. Thank you for blessing your team.
SUPERBOOK
Summer Children’s Program
This Summer the children are going to have amazing adventures together as they discover the SUPERBOOK. Superbook is a Bible-based animated series that uses time travel adventures to teach children about biblical accounts and people. The main characters are Chris and Joy, two children, and their robot Gizmo, who travel through time and encounter various figures and events from the Bible.
The Songs We Sing
Over the summer, Pastor Todd will dig into the songs that we currently sing as part of our worship at Southern Heights. We will look at the origins and meaning of the lyrics, where they are found in scripture and how it leads us to a better understanding of worship of Jesus. Join us Sundays at 10:30 over the summer and we will explore these songs together.
