My sister in law Jacquie ( only 59) has been type 1 diabetic her whole life. After chemo for breast cancer last year and the aftercare medications she has hard a hard time keeping her sugars in check Long story short she has had 3 emergency surgeries in the last 2 weeks resulting in an amputation just above her knee, today we were told the surgery was not successful and she will potentially have another surgery on Thursday, if this one doesn’t work they have said that there is nothing more they can do. John is looking at flights as I write but we would appreciate Gods protection over Jacquie and the medical team. Also comfort for the whole family. Jacquie is not a follower of Jesus so Id also like prayer that she will turn to God through this time and that she would feel his comfort, love and presence

Your Giving is Changing the World

It's not unusual to feel uncomfortable when it comes to conversations about churches and money. If you've felt uneasy about churches repeatedly soliciting donations without trusting where that money is going, we hope we can set your mind at ease. At Southridge, we are transparent about the fact that the majority of all money we receive supports local and global compassion & justice initiatives.

What Happens When
I Give at Southridge?

We are excited about the many opportunities we have to come alongside the work that God is doing in the world and be a part of it. For those who call Southridge home, one of the ways we show that we have our “hands in the huddle” is through generously giving back a portion of the resources that God has blessed us with. We are committed to seeing most of what we spend going directly into supporting compassion and justice, both locally and globally.

Locally

Your giving makes a difference right here in Niagara as it directly supports the communities in each of our locations.

In St. Catharines, that means offering compassion to those experiencing homelessness through our 24/7 Shelter.

In Vineland, it looks like supporting migrant farmworkers from the Caribbean with friendship and advocacy.

In Welland, your generosity comes alongside low-income members of the community who are struggling with things like food insecurity.
