NEW SERIES! 

What's the Point? 

Striking the Heart of Jesus' Parables.  

Why did Jesus cloud the truth in story? We find ourselves within the story, and that is where God wants to meet with us. Through parables in Luke we will discover more about Jesus and what it means to follow him. Join us as we explore the point of the parables Sundays through July.

Women's Ministry 

Summer Bible Study  -  Thursdays beginning June 28.

Nehemiah's heart was so broken for those in need that he left the comfort of his Persian palace to help them. Through seven sessions and real-life ways to put your faith into action, Nehemiah will position your heart to let God break it for a hurting, lost world and move you in compassion to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Join us Thursdays, 6/28 - 8/9; 9:30-11 a.m. or 7-8:30 p.m. The cost of the study is $15 and includes a member workbook. 

Visit the welcome center to register or contact Becky at bflood@southparkchurch.org.

Strengthen Your Marriage...

Married Couples Small Groups - Now Forming! 

Do you want to be a part of a married couple group on Sunday mornings? Building off of the Marriage Series taught by Dr. Brad Olson, we will establish new small groups to go deeper in the discussions. No previous attendance with the Marriage Classes is necessary. Our goal is to build relationships so these groups will continue to meet and encourage each other.  Groups meet Sundays, June 17 - August 19 in Fellowship Hall from 9:30-10:30 a.m. For more information, contact R.A. Atanus at RA@Southparkchurch.org.

 

Art of Marriage Seminar at South Park Church - July 27 & July 28 

Whether your marriage is in need of a major restoration, a checkup, or just is beginning, a marriage conference is a great plan. The Art of Marriage experience will help you develop the tools that are needed to bring your marriage to the next level. These six video sessions combine dramatic stories, real-life testimonies, expert interviews, humorous vignettes and other teaching methods to lay out God's design for marriage in a fresh, engaging way. Attendees are each provided a manual with projects to help them apply the principles taught in each session, augmented by dozens of articles and additional content to help them dive deeper. Over 175,000 people have attended one of over 3000 events held since its launch in February 2011! We look forward to sharing this time with you and growing together in our marriages.  The conference take place Friday, July 27, 7:00-9:30 p.m. and Saturday, July 28, 9:00 a.m.- 5:45 p.m in the Fireside Room.  Registration is accepted though online submission only.  Click here to register online.
