I’m currently sending my debut novel to agents and it’s my dream to be an author. Please pray that God provides a YES (if it’s his plan) with the right person and helps me stay calm throughout this stressful process. Less rejection more protection and celebration please!

Names of God Advent Devotional

This Advent, we are invited to get to know God by name through our Names of God devotional. Each day includes a scripture passage, a reflection, and a name of God to deepen your relationship with him.

As we get to know God by name, may we grow together in naming God as the
one who holds all our hope, joy, peace, and love, all in the name of Jesus.

Advent 2025

Ready for what's next?

Reflection
Specific Prayers in Specific Places

I want you to take a minute right now to look away from this screen, to whatever is around you. Inside, outside, alone or with other people doesn’t matter. Where are you right now, and what do you notice about the physical space around you? 

Bible Study
Journaling the Bible | Micah 6:6-8

What we’re wanting to do here is to shake up both over-familiarity (for those who have been reading the Bible for a long time) that can sometimes cause the Bible to feel stale, as well as to think more deeply about what some of the ancient words and metaphors really mean, and what they might look and sound like in our present day context. 

Activities
Spiritual Gifts Assessment

Think of it like an online personality quiz – this one is designed to help you better understand how God has uniquely wired you with gifts and talents that make our church a more well-rounded and healthier community... 

At Southridge, we believe that LGBTQ+ people are deeply loved by God and are full image bearers of God, each bringing unique value to our community. In that spirit, everyone is welcome to belong and participate in the life of our church.  

As a fully-inclusive Jesus-centred church, LGBTQ+ followers of Jesus have full and equal opportunity to participate in baptism, membership, leadership, employment, and marriage.
