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!

Summer Daily Spiritual Practice

This summer, as you feel the change in schedules and busyness all around, we want to encourage you to still take the time to engage in daily spiritual practices. Lectio 365 is a wonderful resource to start your day with some intentional time with God. Below we have provided the link to the website where you can go and download the app to start engaging with their practices. https://www.24-7prayer.com/resource/lectio-365/ 

Additionally, as you go through the summer we would love for you to return to some of the spiritual practices we have done on Sunday mornings. To do this we have added a link to our spiritual practices page. https://southridgechurch.ca/spiritualpractices

Therefore the LORD is waiting to show you mercy, and is rising up to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. All who wait patiently for him are happy. Isaiah 30:18

Gratitude #2

Today we want to engage in the practice of Gratitude. And to do this, you’ll need a physical piece of paper – and something to write with. In our day-to-day lives, it can be easy to focus on whatever feels like it isn’t going the way we want, and slip often into grumbling and complaining. And that behavior can have a very negative impact on our emotional and even physical well-being.

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.
