Weekly Viewpoint - Southview Church

Hello friends!

Welcome to a new year of ministry at Southview! We hope that somewhere in these links, descriptions, stories and videos you find a next step for yourself into the richness of life together as we seek to learn from Jesus. If you are unsure where to begin, please contact one of our pastors; we’d love to help you.

The Sanctuary Course

Begins September 16

The Sanctuary Course was created to inspire and equip communities of faith in supporting those with mental health challenges. Developed in consultation with mental health professionals, theologians, and people with lived experience, this group explores key mental health topics and examines meaningful ways to offer companionship, support recovery, and promote wellbeing over nine sessions.

The Sanctuary Course is for anyone who wants to learn about faith and mental health. This course and films address difficult and sensitive topics and may not be appropriate people ages 17 and younger.

Womens' Fall Bible Study

Begins September 16 & 18

Join us for a 9-session study on the book of Romans, as Courtney Doctor walks us through Paul’s powerful letter to see the glorious grace and transforming work of the gospel. This life-changing message provides not only hope for eternity, but purpose, joy, and peace for today. And as the good news of the gospel of grace unfolds through Romans, it will compel you to proclaim God’s glorious salvation to all.

Please note that by registering for this event, you will be added to the Women’s Community Group, a group dedicated to keeping the Women of Southview connected, informing you of relevant events, and providing encouragement.

New Moms' Group

Begins September 18

For new and expectant moms, we offer an opportunity for you to meet together on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to 11:00 am for connection, community, and childcare.

No one plans to wrestle with her identity in Christ, to struggle to love her husband, to feel lonely in ministry, or to feel helpless in motherhood. Yet we often find ourselves in these seasons, struggling to embrace the gospel hope we need to fill our discouraged souls.

Join us in this 7-session study of the Book of Colossians as Ruth Choi Simons leads us through a practice of preaching gospel truth to ourselves by studying Paul’s example.

Seniors' Bible Study

Begins September 19

If you’re a senior looking for connection at Southview and wanting to dive deeper into the Word, we encourage you to join us for Seniors’ Bible Studies.

Studies will take place on Thursdays from 10:00 – 11:30 am, starting September 19. No registration is necessary, just come!

Caregivers of Spouses with Dementia

Begins September 19

If you or someone you know is caring for a spouse who suffers from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, you know the unique challenges this role can bring. This support group is designed to help others walk alongside you as you navigate this difficult season. Our prayer is that you leave this group feeling refreshed and cared for.

No prior registration is necessary. Contact Hannah Hunt for additional details.

College & Career Campfire Night

September 26

If you’re between the ages of 18 and 25, we invite you to join us for our College & Career fall kick off event!

GriefShare

Begins September 28

GriefShare is a faith-based program designed to help you understand the ways that grief affects people following the death of a loved one.

Our group is led by facilitators who have experienced grief and want to help you through the days ahead. Each week a video will be shown, followed by a group discussion. You will also receive a workbook for your personal use. There is a $20 registration fee (paid in person when you attend).
