January 27 - Don't Miss This Special Event!

Join us for a special morning designed for the entire family
  
Sunday January 27, 9:15 & 10:45 a.m.

  

A unique blend of creativity is coming to South Park Church. Common light and ordinary sand become a magical medium for story as the crowd leans in to see what's next. Then we'll meet two brothers who have no idea that they're about to encounter a man who will change their lives forever. 

 

This is a Sunday that will be humorous, identifiable, simple... and sure to move you. 

Special guests Mark Demel and Rod Armentrout are known for their amazing work at Willow Creek Community Church, Provision Theater, and many other venues. Don't miss this special Sunday, and be sure to invite your friends!

Congregational Meeting

Congregational Meeting - January 27

 

Meeting at 1 p.m

Lunch provided following the 10:45 service.  

 

We are entering a defining season in the life of our church. It is important for everyone who calls South Park Church home to attend this important meeting. We will be sharing initial plans for facility renovation and details about the vision campaign. We'll also consider the 2013 budget and affirm our elders. 

Caris Diaper Drive!

Caris Diaper Drive - Sunday, January 20

We have the opportunity to richly bless and share the compassion of Christ with women in the Chicago area by being a part of the Caris Diaper Drive! By donating diapers (size newborn to size 3) THIS SUNDAY, on January 20, you will be providing hope and support to women facing unplanned pregnancies. When some of a woman's basic needs are met, it gives her hope and empowers her to take the next positive step for herself and her child.

Adult Journey Class

Sundays at 10:45:
In the history of the church, the study of the Book of Romans has often proven to be a life-changing exercise where lives have been radically transformed through the impact of Paul's Epistle to the Romans. Come and join us as we study what many consider the pinnacle of the New Testament Theology.
