Please pray for my sister in law, Val Spenler. She has been battling lung cancer for the past two years. There have been ups and downs, but it had remained fairly stable with medication until recently when the medication stopped working. Fluid is building up in her lungs causing difficulty with breathing. She will be starting weekly chemo as well beginning Thursday, September 10th.

Join us in participating with the Hope Lives Advent calendar as we try to be Peacemakers this Advent season!

Ready for what's next?

Reflection
Examen | Church History

Examen is a practice of examining your life backwards, over a given period of time, and prayerfully reflecting on two things: 1) Where you noticed a sense of God’s presence, or closeness; and 2) Where you felt absent or disconnected from that sense. 

Activities
Tearing Down Other Gods

We want to consider the gods we’ve allowed to exist alongside, or even ahead of God... 

Contemplations
Children of God

Remind yourself that you are God’s cherished kid, and that nothing in this world can separate you from that fierce parental love. 

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.
