Please pray for my sister in law, Val Spenler. She has been battling lung cancer for the past two years. There have been ups and downs, but it had remained fairly stable with medication until recently when the medication stopped working. Fluid is building up in her lungs causing difficulty with breathing. She will be starting weekly chemo as well beginning Thursday, September 10th.

SERIES: Preaching to the Choir
23.02.19 - Preaching to the Choir | Singing off the Same Song Sheet

Unison is what happens when everyone sings the exact same note, at the same time, for the same length of time. Harmony is what happens when different people sing different notes, sometimes even at different times. Harmony reminds us that all our differences can actually create something singular and beautiful. But it requires us to be a choir, rather than a collection of soloists. And it requires ... that we all sing from the same song sheet - that we are clear on the one song that unites us together in beautiful, timeless, Christ-centred harmony.

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.
