Dear Southport Spirit ~

What an excellent rehearsal you had last night! Not to mention the craziness in the pool!
We are now officially ready to sing this Sunday, August 2 for both the 9:00 and 11:00 worship services.

You know, it's always been my theory that time spent in pure fellowship builds unity, which in turn lends itself to even tighter harmonies. In the case of your music, it would seem I am right! You have listened to direction, applied the rules, prayed and played together, and the result is good -- very good. And it certainly takes us to a new level to have Dean Phelps on guitar, Doug Lofton on bass, and Jim Eads on drums! Those guys are amazing!

As you know, this week our Indianapolis area churches, along with our General Offices will be hosting the denomination's General Assembly. It is such a privilege to be able to have this event in our own city, and Southport Christian Church is certainly doing its part to ensure the event's success!

One of the remarkable opportunities we have at Southport is to be hosting the Reverend Eliki Bonanga, President of Disciples of Christ Community of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Rev. Bonanga will bless our worship as he offers the sermon at both worship services. And you will be singing!!! This Sunday is going to be an exciting day at Southport, isn't it?

I continue to be very proud of all of you and the effort you've put into Southport Spirit. We have such a wonderful place to worship, and the support you get from our congregation is amazing. Our goal is to keep reaching for excellence, so that every gift of music we bring to worship is our very best effort. God deserves nothing less, and you are doing just that.

Take care of your voices this week, get lots of rest, and I will see you
at 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning!

Blessings ~
Barb

 


Whether for camp, speakers, Bible study, games, eating (always food!) or worshipping,
Southport Christian Church
youth have gathered together
throughout the church's existence. What better way to build on such a
strong history than with a whole new concept?

Although the idea of just a youth choir is certainly not new to churches around the country,
what is new about "Southport Spirit" is that it encompasses all arts;
a creative arts ministry taking youth involvement in the church to a whole new level.
What better place to nurture the "artist within" than at church?

If you are in grades 6-12, and enjoy music, art, photography, acting or writing,
there is a place for you here. Come and celebrate the Word with us at
Southport Christian Church . . .
