Family Bible Day is this coming Saturday, November 2, 10 am to 2 pm. The Story of Jonah with lessons in Obedience, Repentance and Forgiveness is the theme for the day.

We have an attended nursery for small children during morning worship periods in room 2. We also have a training room at the rear of the auditorium where parents can stay with their little ones while worshiping.
A children’s worship is scheduled to begin near the start of the worship lesson time. Children’s Worship is intended to provide a time of worship for children age 3 thru Grade 3 and to encourage families with children.
There’s a special group at Southside, of people who are ages 55 and older, called Club 55.
