A Note From John

To all the VOLUNTEERS at Southpoint Church

I wish I could come to every single one of you who has volunteered in 2010, and give you a bear hug and a huge sloppy kiss. You make Southpoint happen! Everyone who walks into our environments, whether it be UpStreet, Waumba Land, Main Service or InsideOut is immediately impressed by what you have done. Your hard work in creating the environments sets them up to listen attentively to the message of the gospel of Jesus that is life changing! (I refer you to our previous blog to hear and see again some of the great things God has done in people’s lives).

I spoke to a lady who came for the first time two Sundays back and returned this last week and she said that she and her 20 year old son walked in to our Sunday morning environment for the first time and both began crying… there was just something about the environment that touched their hearts and gave them a sense of God and his love as soon as they walked in.

A long time before the band begins and a long long time before the sermon starts, new people have already had their hearts affected by what you do!! You may think you only do a little job, but it is huge and the end result is eternal! I especially want to commend the ROAD CREW for all the hard work and early Sunday mornings. You rock!!

I love you all. I hope you have great celebrations with your family over Christmas and New Year and I look forward to a rewarding 2011 with you all.

Love John

Parent Connection

Children will spend more than 1000 hours a year at school. They will be at home for more than 3000 hours a year. If a child attends every single week of the year, that means they will only spend 50 hours a year at church. This is why we believe that what happens at home is more important than what happens at church on a Sunday.

One of our goals at Southpoint Church is not only to partner with you as parents to reach the next generation but also to raise a generation that is growing in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

So we created Parent Connection. At Parent Connection you will find download links that will give you the tools to talk to your children around the topic they are currently busy with in their environment. These tools are designed to highlight what your kids are learning each week and empower you to continue the conversation at home.

We know that no one has more influence on your child than you do, and it’s our hope that this site will be one more opportunity to partner with you in packing your child’s suitcase for adulthood by teaching them about faith and character. We want you to be informed so that you can talk about it all week at home!
