Welcome to Southside Fellowship!

We meet for worship on Sunday mornings in the Sermon on the Mount Chapel on the Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary campus.  The chapel's address is:

The worship service starts at 9:30 a.m. followed by a Fellowship time.  Adult and Children's Christian Education Hour begins at 11 a.m.  Children's classes are available for children in Pre-school, K-2nd grade, 3rd & 4th grade, and High School.

Our theme for Lent 2010 is Holding On & Letting Go.  "Lent is an opportunity to draw near to God, to ponder God's words to us in scripture, to hold close what we value, and to identify with Jesus in his mission... While the scripture readings in Lent always bend toward repentance, this year's texts focus particularly on calling back believers who have fallen away.  In these passages we see two parallel invitations: (1) to hold on to what is most important and (2) to let go of what is peripheral or gets in the way of further growth.  A prominent story this season is the familiar parable of the son who leaves home and the father who waits for his return.  This story reminds us of the human condition: of our tendency to wander away from our home in God, sometimes without realizing it, and of God's longing for reunion with all who hage strayed (Leader Magazine, p. 29).
Scriptures for Sunday, March 14 are: Joshua 5:9-12; Psalm 32; 2 Corinthians 5:16-21; Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32.
Our focus will be: When we resist God, attached to our own way, we find ourselves wasting away in silence.  When we see ourselves as God sees us, love is ours.

Please feel free to call or email our church office if you have any questions or concerns. 
May God Bless you.
