I posted a request for prayer about 1 month ago for a family member (Penny) who was facing cancer surgery for the 2nd time. She has had the surgery and the pathology came back completely negative. Thank you to any amd all who prayed for Penny. God has heard our prayers.

Fall Bible Reading Plan | The Book of Mark


The only foundation of true Christianity, is the person of Christ. Being loved by Christ, filled with the life of Christ, and following in the way of Christ. Therefore it just makes great sense to – on a regular basis – slow down and make time to look more closely at the life of Jesus. This Fall we are inviting everyone into a 7-week challenge of reading through the Gospel of Mark – one of the best and most beautiful, not to mention most readable – accounts of the life of Jesus.

As you prayerfully read through the day’s chapter, take time to reflect on these questions:

  • What does this passage show you about who God is?
  • What about this passage a) encourages you; and b) challenges you? 
  • How can you put the wisdom of this passage into real action in your life today?

Reflection
Specific Prayers in Specific Places

I want you to take a minute right now to look away from this screen, to whatever is around you. Inside, outside, alone or with other people doesn’t matter. Where are you right now, and what do you notice about the physical space around you? 

Guided Prayer
Silence | Health & Humility

Not sure if you’ve noticed the world seems to be a bit noisy these days. In fact we are inundated by so much noise, it’s actually making our souls sick.... 

Reflection
Examen | Church History

Examen is a practice of examining your life backwards, over a given period of time, and prayerfully reflecting on two things: 1) Where you noticed a sense of God’s presence, or closeness; and 2) Where you felt absent or disconnected from that sense. 

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.
