Helping women in Africa feel like a princess: You can make a difference!
Want to minister to women on the other side of the world by donating your wedding dress, jewelry, gloves, and handbag? Carolyn Kirschner who has served as a medical missionary on short-term and long-term trips in Jos, Nigeria will be collecting wedding dresses and accessories during the month of November to ship to Zela in Jos. Zela, along with her sister, have started a new business renting out wedding dresses to women in the area which gives them an opportunity to provide for their families. If you have a dress (there is a special need for dresses in sizes 12 and up) and accessories collecting dust in storage and you would love to donate them to bless these women supporting their families and another woman on her special day, please bring the items to South Park Church and place behind the Welcome Center by Sunday, November 25.

Iron Men - Saturdays, 7 - 8:30 a.m.

Iron Men: December Series - Saturdays, December 1, 8, and 15 at 7 a.m.
As men, everyday, we are faced with many different desires and choices. The great author, C. S. Lewis once said, "Every morning my desires rush at me like a pack of wild animals." We often sense that we were created for something more yet never seem to attain it. No matter what we try, we're left grasping for more. What do we do with those desires... Indulge? Deny? Numb? And where is God in this? Join us for this 3 week series as Jack Clark leads us in an honest look at this topic. Iron Men Info Here.
