Greetings!
Fall is upon us! What amazing opportunities are launching in the coming days! This Saturday you can join us at South as we hear Beth Moore speak a new message that God has laid on her heart. I'm sure it will be refreshing and spur you on to a deeper relationship with Jesus. Please consider investing in yourself by spending Saturday with us from 9:30 am - 4:15 pm for Living Proof Live! Tickets will be available AT THE DOOR on Saturday, so grab a girlfriend or two and make it happen! You can get more information at: www.southlife.org/special-event.
Next week begins the launch of most of our Fall Bible Studies. We have choosen a variety of topics and levels of teaching to meet you wherever you may be in your Christian walk. There are topical studies like "Faithful, Abundant, True" on Tuesday nights with facilitator, Emily Penfield. And there are indepth studies like "Daniel" on Thursday nights with study leader Eileen Ellis, who will add years of personal research on this topic to the discussion (definately worth a redo if you have done it in the past). There are so many great options it will be hard to choose just one! Studying God's Word in community with other women will impact you in a way that personal home study just can't. Prayerfully consider joining us this fall to build relationships and accountability with other women from South by diving into God's Word together.
Below you will find descriptions of the studies we'll be hosting this fall. It's not too late to register online or feel free to just show up on the first night of the study. Please join us--we have a place for you! Donna Banks, Bible Study Coordinator Becky Phillips, South Womens Ministry Coordinator |
