Children’s Faith Formation: Sept. 18!

By

Exciting news! A brand new Sunday School experience for children ages 2-10 will launch on Sunday mornings beginning September 18 immediately following our worship services.

This pre-reader and early reader class is designed to activate faith using the “Spark Classroom” curriculum. Children will explore Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments using engaging resources and activities that inspire faith development.

Children will gather at 10:30am (or as soon as the worship service is over) for a 30 minute gathering while parents/guardians are enjoying coffee hour.

Book Club Resumes – Sept. 1

By

The Southminster Book Club starts up again on September 1st.  This is a zoom meeting that is held at 7pm on the first Thursday of every month.  Anyone is WELCOME to join us – just contact the church office to be added to the Book Club mailing list.

Our selection for September is “Black, White, and the Grey” by Mashama Bailey and John O. Morisano. The story is about a Black chef from Queens and a White media entrepreneur who partner up, relocate to the South, and build a relationship and a restaurant (in a dilapidated Greyhound bus station) to get people talking about race, gender, class, and culture. In October we will be discussing “Searching for Sunday” by Rachel Held Evans. Hope you can join us!

Centering Prayer

By

Centering Prayer is coming to SPC! Have you ever wanted to hear an inspirational verse or poem read over again so you could fully appreciate its meaning? Have you ever wanted to then take some quiet minutes to let it soak in and really speak to you? If so, then this form of centering prayer may be for you! Although there are many forms it can take, we are going to offer a 30 minute session on Sundays from 11:00-11:30 after coffee hour to sit together and learn a little more about how to do this sacred practice together. We hope this will be one more way to bring the calming presence of Christ into our hearts.  Dena Duke will be offering this new experience for you to try out from April 24th – May 22nd. You may join us any Sunday!
