Current Events
Bro. Harry sends out frequent e-mails with all the happenings. If you aren't getting a copy and want one, let him know. We are also uploading that information here. Either way, you're in the know!
Valentine's Day Luncheon
We're planning a luncheon to celebrate Valentine's day. No need to cook! We're catering in the food. Sign up in the foyer so we know how much to order.
Monthly Fellowship
We try to get together each month after Sunday evening service for snacks, games and fun. Dominoes, Mexican train, checkers or Blokus anyone? Join us on the last Sunday of the month.
Fall Festivals
Each year, Kaufman has a Scarecrow Festival, usually right before Halloween.
Southside participated with a float, passing out tracts and tossing candy.
Those kids!
They used ME as a target!
(Note the flying candy in the pictures.)
One wit even handed me a tract, proclaiming that I needed Jesus in my heart, and then ran.
Of course, I chased!
No one can say we don't have fun!
A few weeks after that, we had our church carnival with activities, candy, snacks,
cake walks and all sorts of opportunites for fellowship.
All the "kids" under 99 had a ton of fun.
Graduation 2009
We have one high school graduate this year:
Joe Gibson, from Kaufman High School.
We celebrated the achievement on May 24th.
(A little early, but he promised that he was, indeed, going to get a diploma on the 1st!)
Look out world ... here comes Joe! (Pictured here with his parents, David and Cheralyn.)
The 10th annual Southside Chili and Dessert Cook-Off was held on Feb 27th, 2010.
This year we opened the chili and dessert to all competitors, but there was a twist.
You had to name your chili!
Winner of the best named chili was Linda Maddox with "Hot Diggity Dog".
Winner of the best tasting chili was Glenda Smith with "Buffalo Gals Chili".
Winner of the best adult dessert was Mark Jones.
Winner of the best junior dessert was Riley Fifield.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Who knows what next year will bring?
The competition is always fierce (and sometimes requires Mylanta!) but we all have fun.
Trophies and bragging rights awarded to the victors.
Even if you aren't competing, please come and EAT!
There's always a good chance some game playing will break out, too.
Mrs. Bobby and the choir presented their Easter musical,
and the 60th Anniversary celebration performance, and frequent Sunday Morning specials including the bells.
(Well, technically, they're chimes, but "bells" is much simpler to understand!).
Now they're practicing for a Christmas special to be presented on Dec 13th.
Each song they perform is a blessing, both for those that hear it and those that play and sing it.
Come join them!
Mrs. Bobby will provide the training, all you need to do is provide the willingness.
Jimmy Ayers is leading a recovery ministry,
to aid overcoming all types of addictions.
The meetings will be on Thursdays between 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Why is this so important?
Many in our community, and some in our church are struggling with these issues.
Some other recovery programs are not faith-based, and the real recovery is by knowing the great physician: Jesus.
We plan on using some of the best parts of traditional 12-step programs and meld it with the Bible.
If you need help, please come.
If you are a family member of someone who needs help, please come.
If you want to help, please come.
If you can, please pray for this ministry.
Each year we have taken our kids to Church Camp.
Our current camp is Purley Gates camp in Mt. Vernon, Texas.
The camp for 2009 was the week of June 22nd.
The theme was Ephesian 6:12 - SOUL WARS!
Our campers had a great time, and both Zeke Buck and Ryleigh Farmer won Best Camper awards.
This week away from the world and closer to the Lord brings so much fruit.
Won't you consider coming with us next year?
We hadn't had a Vacation Bible School in quite a few years, so this year, we decided to change that! During the week of July 20th we Dug into Adventure. This was fun! (A lot of work, but worthwhile!)
At 8:30 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month, the men gather at the church for a hearty breakfast
and a time of prayer and fellowship.
Sometimes, the breakfast is "worked off" by doing a few minor jobs around the church.
It is worth waking up early for!
Come out, have a great meal and fellowship!
We have been having a Teen Night on the last Saturday of the month at 7:00 pm, with great success. We've had other churches join us, and we've travelled to other churches for a concert. Bring friends, too. The last person to bring the most friends got a prize!
Please come out! We hope to see you then!
Wow, are we busy! There is a lot going on.
We have a Ladies Bible Study.
We meet in the Fellowship hall each Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
Bring a friend (or two), and we look forward to seeing you.
The monthly Ladies Meeting will be the third Monday of each month.
Everyone is welcome!
There is also an organized group of ladies that are taking care of the church foyer and auditorium decorations. If you aren't already part of this, please contact Lori Robertson or Glenda Smith. There is a sign-up list in the foyer of the church, too. This is a team effort, so don't be afraid! You'll have a partner (or two!) to help!
