A Summer as Busy as Bee's at Southside...

We're in the middle of a very busy Summer here at Southside... buzzing around like bee's without a honeycomb!!!

We're looking forward to an awesome V.B.S., during the week of July 21-25, with a brief Ceremony on the 27th. (Beginning next year, we will begin a new tradition at Southside... we will have 'Kidz Krusade'/'Family Kamp' services each evening Monday-Friday, with a Ceremony on either Friday evening or Saturday afternoon, depending on the Crusade Ministry Team each year.) Whether it's V.B.S. or Kidz Krusade, it's a very exciting time that NO ONE will want to miss out on!!!

Be watching for more details on our Kidz Konnect upcoming "Bible Story Nite", Day Trip to the "Children's Museum", the District Children's "Back-to-School Bash at Camp Camby", etc., etc., etc. We have many wonderful events planned and we want you to be aware and plan ahead for each of them!

"Kidz Kamp" at Camp Camby is right around the corner, July 7-11 and if you have questions, please refer to the Church Info. Wall or see Mr. Steve Thompson, ASAP! It's bound to be a great week...

Summer 2008 Has Officially Arrived at Southside...

This past Sunday, June 8th was our first major Summer Event... "Baby Day/Children's Day 2008"... and it was a raging success! Thank you to each person that assisted, whether behind the scenes or on the platform during the service! Without YOU, this day, wouldn't have been the success that it was... THANK YOU!!!

The theme of the day was, "God Made You Special". Mrs. Janice did a fantastic job being the "MC", Mrs. Trisha and Mr. Larry had a pretty little table set up for the "MC" and did almost ALL of the errand running for the day... buying gifts, etc. I could go on and on with those that helped but, I'm sure to miss someone if I try... Please just accept our thanks for a job MORE than well done!!!

The Baby Day "Parade" was adorable, each and every baby/toddler looked precious and did a great job... not a tear in the bunch!!! They each received a Photo Album to take home and we can't wait to see them again next year!

The Jr. Worship aged Children each received a token to remind them how "Special" they are to God... Mrs. Doris and her Staff also presented them with a yummy lunch after the Service followed with Games to boot! Thank You, Ladies (and Mr. Rich, too!), for a wonderful time together!!!


NOW, on to more UPCOMING Events that we are looking forward to here at Southside!

A "Camp-themed" V.B.S. 2008 will be here before you can count to 3...


the dates are July 21-27!!!


That's ONLY about 5 weeks away or so, now!!!


King's Kidz Klub is up and running for the Summer and it's turning out to be very interesting! A week ago, (June 4th), we had "Karaoke Nite" and BOY was it ever fun! We have quite a bit of talent in these kids!!! Good job, guys and gals! This coming Wednesday night (June 18th) is "Kidz Kraft Nite" at King's Kidz Klub with Mrs. Mari and her Staff... PLEASE bring a friend and be ready for some FUN!!! Last night (June 11th), we had "Free-for-All-Time" outdoors, with myself, Mr. Greg and Mrs. Kathy... it was the perfect night for it, too... the weather was beautiful, sunny, gentle winds, etc.!


HEY KIDS... REMEMBER THIS SUNDAY IS "FATHER'S DAY"... DO SOMETHING REALLY REALLY REALLY SPECIAL FOR YOUR DAD THIS WEEK!!!
What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree,


The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea,


The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night,


The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight,


The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed,


The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need,


Then God combined these qualities,When there was nothing more to add,


He knew His masterpiece was complete,


And so, He called it... DAD!


~~Author Unknown.~~

All of this to say, PLEASE join us this summer for more fun than you can shake a stick at and remember we LOVE it when you bring your friends and family with you!

SUNDAY A.M. (15TH) ~ KATHY HURST AND BARB EMMERT
