Summer is Drawing to an End

As hard as it is to believe, most of us are back to school or soon will be and Summer will officially end in about 21 days!!!
Our series, "LIFE IS A HIGHWAY", is also about to come to an end! We will have our last King's Kidz Klub session, next Wednesday night (Sept. 1st). We have had some very gifted speakers this Summer, exciting video clips about the road of life and also learned a few lovely new worship songs. Indeed, it has been a wonderful Summer!!! We will open our "Route 66 General Store" one last time, on Wednesday, Sept. 8th, with a closing celebration of fun for all!
We plan to have our Kidz Konnect Fall Kick-Off on Wednesday, Sept. 15th, where we will begin a new series entitled, "DEAL WITH IT"...
We also plan to replace our Praise and Worship music with Christmas music for our annual program, this year. Mrs. Mari will be getting speaking parts to some of you very soon and we are trusting God for another wonderful Holiday season here at Southside!!!

On the Road Together this Summer

We are about halfway through our Summer series at King's Kidz Klub and are having a great turn out, thus far! "LIFE IS A HIGHWAY" and we are all about learning the signs of the road! Soon the kids will be able to use their Bible Bucks at the Route 66 General Store for prizes and one BIG prize will be handed out, at the end of the Summer, to the boy and one to the girl who have earned the most Bible Bucks.

So far, along this highway of life we have seen the following signs: "ONE WAY" (Jesus is the ONE WAY to Heaven), "STOP" (How to STOP sin in its tracks), "YIELD" (YIELD to the Holy Spirit's guidance) and "MERGE" (We are to MERGE together in order to work as a team). Mrs. Shelly Penn is playing the part of the Traveling-DJ (Emcee) and Mrs. Tanya Mobley, the part of the Main Driver (Media Director). We have had wonderful devotionals brought to us by (our Co-Drivers): Mrs. Theresa Baker, Mrs. Shelly Penn and Mrs. Kathy Hurst... we look forward to a few 'new faces' in the driver's seat over the upcoming weeks. A few of the signs we will be learning about are: The "CONSTRUCTION ZONE" (Building up our faith), A "DETOUR" sign (Dealing with life's disappointments), OOPS, "WRONG WAY" (My way OR God's way?), "WATCH FOR CHILDREN" (How to be a Godly example) and The "DEAD END" (How to make a spiritual U-turn when we have gone astray)! Thank You to Mrs. Doris Martin, Mr. Rich Miller, Mrs. Mari Fye and Mrs. Amelia Stewart for doing a fabulous job on these most recent devotionals (Y'all made incredible Co-Drivers, too, as well as the ones we had earlier in the Summer)!!!
KIDS: PLEASE JOIN US THIS WEEK FOR MORE ON THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE........

We are well into the month of May and ready for an exciting Summer ahead!!! Our annual Church Business Meetings were held last week and there are SEVERAL changes taking place on and around our 'campus'! GOD IS MOVING --- BY HIS SPIRIT --- MOVING IN ALL THE EARTH --- SIGNS AND WONDERS WHEN GOD MOVETH --- MOVE ON LORD ON "ME"!

Be on the lookout for details of these changes coming soon... it's going to be incredible to see what God has in store for us! There will be MAJOR changes taking place in our Kidz Konnect gatherings during the rest of May, which will continue next School Year and even more MAJOR changes in our King's Kidz Klub, during the months of June - August!!!

V.B.S. 2010 at Southside is just around the bend and we are thrilled to announce, the Baker's, as our workers this year!

JANUARY 2010

The first month of the new year has almost come and gone! Time is slipping by so quickly!!!

The first Wednesday of January we had a Christmas Show-N-Tell. The children brought something in they had received for Christmas and told us about it. This was interesting for the kids, as well as for the adults, to see all the unique items that were brought. Thanks to Mr. Greg and Mrs. Shelly for this event.

The second Wednesday of 2010 was Game Night. We enjoyed a variety of many different games, hot cocoa and cookies. Thanks to Mr. Steve and his helpers for a fun evening.

This past Wednesday was Bible Character Night... which proved to be another great time! The kids could, but did not have to dress in costume, as Mr. David and Mrs. Amelia hosted the event.

This coming Wednesday evening will be Mystery Momentz......... you'll see what happens when you arrive and who will be directing for the night. Believe me, you'll NOT want to miss this one!!!

Show-N-Tell, Incredible Illusions & More........ HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
