Graduation 2010
We have one high school graduate this year:
Blake Hardin, from Kaufman High School.
We celebrated the achievement on May 23rd.
(A little in advance of the actual diploma on the 28th, but we were SURE he'd get one!)
Chili and Dessert Cook-Off
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 "Bubba-lo 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.
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.
Mrs. Bobby and the choir are working towards the next big special (and a few "little" ones in between).
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.
Each year we have taken our kids to Church Camp.
Our current camp is Purley Gates camp in Mt. Vernon, Texas.
Last year was the first VBS in many years, and we had so much fun we're doing it again this year!
July 12th through the 16th, 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m we'll all be moseying in to "Saddle Ridge Ranch".
We're still in the planning stages, but are looking for volunteers.
Teenagers, adults, seniors: all can play a vital part in this endeavor.
Even if you can help for one night, that would be useful.
There is a sign-up list in the foyer of the church, or you can call Mrs. Bobby Reville!
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!
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.
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!
Contact us!

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.
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.
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.
The camp for this year is the week of June 21st.
Unfortunately, there were not enough adult leaders to take a group.
We'll hopefully have better luck, better health and better work schedules next year!
Come out, have a great meal and fellowship!
The monthly Ladies Meeting will be the third Monday of each month.
Everyone is welcome!
