I’m currently sending my debut novel to agents and it’s my dream to be an author. Please pray that God provides a YES (if it’s his plan) with the right person and helps me stay calm throughout this stressful process. Less rejection more protection and celebration please!

Community Reading Plan

As a community, we want to get to know Jesus through the spiritual practice of daily quiet, prayer, and scripture reading:

Revelation
Read and reflect on the teaching passage from Revelation through the week.

Gospel of John
Read and reflect on a chapter from the Gospel of John through the week.

Psalms
Read and pray a Psalm each day.

Practical Reading Tips

1) Commit to (at least) 15 min a day for quiet reading and prayer.
Embracing this habit may be the most life-changing opportunity.

2) Start with 30-60 seconds of silence, taking deep breaths to quiet your mind and heart. Pray this prayer: “Speak Jesus, I’m listening.”

3) For Revelation and John, read on the first day, or consider re-reading each day, or break into small chunks through the week.

4) Read the Psalm for the day as a prayer, speaking to God and letting God speak to you. Pick one line that stands out to you as your personal prayer for the day.

5) Start wherever you are, not where you think you should be.

Bible Study
S.O.A.P. Bible Reading #2

This SOAP method of Bible study is a practice we often encourage to make a regular part of your time with God. Digging into and interacting with scripture is such a good spiritual-growth exercise, such a good place to catch a deeper glimpse of God. But even if you’ve never read the Bible before – don't worry; it’s not complicated and we’ll walk through it together step by step. 

At Southridge, we believe that LGBTQ+ people are deeply loved by God and are full image bearers of God, each bringing unique value to our community. In that spirit, everyone is welcome to belong and participate in the life of our church.  

As a fully-inclusive Jesus-centred church, LGBTQ+ followers of Jesus have full and equal opportunity to participate in baptism, membership, leadership, employment, and marriage.
