 Annual Outreach Conference!

Every year our church family joins together with visiting Outreach Partners to pray, learn, and celebrate God's loving activity around the world. South Park Church has over 30 individuals, families, and agencies ministering full time from Park Ridge to Chicago to Asia-and they'll be coming back to share with us so we can better partner with them. Activities on Saturday March 10 will include a prayer breakfast, a time of elective teaching for adults on mission topics,a family learning event and a potluck dinner. On Sunday morning March 11 we will hear from Dave Anderson, our Partner with Lydia Home/Safe Families. Partners will also be in Iron Men, with our Youth, and in Journey Class that weekend. Come and be encouraged! The deadline to sign-up for the Saturday events and dinner is this Sunday at the Welcome Center. Click here for a detailed schedule of events.
