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

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.
