Southside City Church - Sunday Worship beginning in November

I am very excited to announce that Southside City Church will be launching our Sunday worship gatherings on November 23rd, with a fellowship meal starting at 5:00 p.m. and worship at 6:00 p.m.

Everyone is invited - so mark your calendars for the special evening. SSCC worship gatherings will be held at the College Avenue Baptist Church, 1400 College Ave. Fort Worth, TX 76104. If you exit Rosedale and head West, turn left on College Avenue and head South for a few blocks the church is on the right. Directional signs will be posted so you will know where to enter the building.

Oh What a Night!

Hopefully everyone is rested after a great weekend of moving and outreach. We estimate that about 85 folks particpated in the community cookout, sponsored by Southside City Church this past Saturday. My guess is Steve and Bubba cooked about 300 sausage on a stick. Lot's of folks from Samaritan House came out for the fun and food, as well as several families and lot's of children from the neighborhood.

Thanks to SSCC team for your hard work and commitment to consistent, compassionate care and community!

I'm posting several pictures here from Saturday.

Have a great week,

Fairmount Park Cookout - Saturday, September 13th

Be sure to mark your calendars for our next night of worship at Fairmount Park. We'll gather at 6:00 p.m. in hopes of building friendships with folks in the community. There'll be food and drinks and games for the kids to play - hopefully an open house at the "girls place", (no promises) and a chance to really connect.

The next couple of Tuesday nights we'll be gathering at the park at 7:00 as usual, but will be passing out invitations to the cookout!

A mother's perspective

I received a note from Belinda this morning, sharing her perspective from last night's supper club at Samaritan house. I thought you all may enjoy reading what she wrote. Thanks for your faithful service to the residents at Samaritan House. Last night was an absolute blast!

Darrel - Last night, as always, was such a blessing to me. I just love being
at Samaritan House with our new friends.

I want to share something that was sooo cool. Hannah and Andi..recognizing
some of the residents by name and giving hugs. Residents knowing their names
and getting hugs. It's awesome. Reminds me of us when we were kids. Mom
and Dad visiting the elderly in our church and the nursering homes. We got
to know those people and love them like our own family and they needed and
loved us back just as much. I'm so thankful that my kids are getting to
experience that kind of love. God is sooooo good. Love you.
Have a great day.

A great night in Dripping Springs

Want to give a shout out to our friends at Church of the Springs in Dripping Springs Texas, south of Austin. Steven, Kim, Michele and I headed out to Dripping after morning worship and enjoyed a great time with Bob and Robbie Cave, Laura and her family, friends, Carol and Brian Burns....awesome....then that evening we worshipped at COTS where I shared about our mission opportunities in Burkina Faso. The church was alive and the Spirit of God brought tremendous blessing. The youth there are on FIRE! Guys and gals, hope to see you again soon.

I'll give a full report on Tuesday night at Lifegroup.

Tuesday Nights and Upcoming Supper Club

We will continue our Tuesday Night Life Group at Fairmount Park at 7:00 p.m. Make plans to join us soon. Bring something cool to drink and a lawn chair.

Our next Supper Club at Samaritan House is on Wednesday, August 13th. We plan on serving Taco Salad and all that goes with that. We're also looking to provide a special gift for each resident. Mark your calendar and join us. More information will come soon.
