May is approaching fast!

Hi all,

During the month of May, we’re going to be looking at the book of Haggai in worship.  The books we know as the “minor prophets” are hardly that - these were godly, on fire, passionate men of God who stood firm with His message.  I’ve taught through these books in classrooms in the past, and I’m really looking forward to this series. 

In May, we’ve got a lot going on at Southview.  We’ll kick off the month with the National Day of Prayer on May 1.  Our sanctuary will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. that day for you and members of our community to come and pray for our nation, our elected leaders, our church, and our community. Plan to take advantage of this opportunity to come to the throne of our God and pray.

Our monthly Second Saturday Workday will be May 10 - and this is the big one!  We’re calling for all hands on deck to come and help with the properties and grounds.  We’ve got big projects and small - everyone can do something on our list.  Make it a family event if you can - we want to make the building and grounds look great for Mother’s Day on May 11. 

In May we’ll be focusing on one of our ministry partner organizations, First Choice Pregnancy Health Center (formerly LifeLine).  They are a life-focused organization that helps countless people who are considering abortions to choose life.  We’ll be participating in the baby bottle campaign as we’ve done in years past, and we’ll also be hosting a Family Fun night at church on Sunday, May 18 at 5:30 p.m. in the Quad.  We will have food, info on the center with ways for people to volunteer/help, and games.  Plan to come and learn more about how you can support this worthy ministry.

So much going on - there’s no way I can list it all.  Check out the website and the newsletter and see what all is happening - see where you can plug in and be a part.  These are great days at Southview - and the best is yet to come!

Serving Him with you,

--Pastor William
