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!

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

Hope Lives Advent Calendar

Ready for what's next?

Breath Prayer
Holy Spirit Come

We are going to focus in on a phrase that invites us to reflect on the activity of the Spirit in our lives. Holy Spirit Come... 

Reflection
Prayer of St. Patrick's

St. Patrick was a follower of Jesus hundreds of years ago and was known for many things, one of which being this prayer. These words, written so long ago, still ring true today. When you struggle to find the words, allow this prayer to become a reflection and connect with the presence of Christ all around you. 

Activities
Practicing Love | Christmas Cards

I wonder how many of us are looking at the weeks ahead, and feeling like love is going to be pretty hard, in some situations. That maybe we’ll be in encounters – whether at family dinners, work parties, even extra time at home – with people we actually find it hard to 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.
