GET INVOLVED

The Nourishing Body and Soul Meals Ministry needs you! The meals ministry serves our church family by providing ready-to-eat and freezer meals following the birth of a baby or in the midst of sickness/hospitalization. This ministry can happen only through the selfless love of volunteers within our church family who are willing to serve one another through the ministry of food. If you are interested in serving in this way, please contact Nikki MacDonald at nikki.m@e-free-family.com. Thank you!

You and your friends are warmly invited to a special event for

women on Friday, April 6 at 6:30pm in the Multi-Purpose Room. Our theme is The Risky Place of Faith, and together, we will

worship, pray, and listen to a classic prerecorded message from Priscilla Shirer, daughter of Tony Evans. We desire to be intentional in growing intergenerational community, and this is a fantastic opportunity to connect with women of all ages. Invite your Bible study, your LifeGroup, your daughters, your sisters, and your friends. It's going to be a sweet night!

Men — Join us for a Wild Game Banquet on Friday, April 27 at 6:30pm. Come and enjoy this potluck evening where men have taken the meat from

this year's hunting and fishing season and transformed it into a dish to pass. Even if you’re not a hunter/fisherman, bring a salad or dessert to share. Bring your friends, your sons, and men who love wild game.

The evening will feature our speaker, Tom DuBois, from Rugged Cross Outdoors. Rugged Cross Outdoors exists to "go out into the outdoor world and share the good news of Jesus Christ." A free-will offering will be taken. Sign-ups start Sunday, April 8.

Holy Week

On Maundy Thursday, we commemorate the Last Supper. The word “Maundy” comes from the Latin word for commandment, seen in Jesus’ teaching at the Last Supper of a new commandment to love one another (John 13:31-35, ESV).

Join us on March 29 at 7pm for a communion service in the MPR.

On Good Friday, we commemorate Jesus’ sacrifice for us. Gather with Christians around the community on March 30.

The combined Good Friday service will be held at Southside Church on March 30 at 1pm & 5:30pm.

Come celebrate our risen Savior on Easter Sunday, April 1, at 8, 9:30, or 11am. Children’s programming will run as usual, except that grades 1-6 will be combined during the 9:30am hour. Student Ministries and Equip will not meet on Easter Sunday.
