Good Seed Sunday

What a magical day:more than seventy-five people; warmth and sunshine after a month of clouds and rain; trays of onions trimmed with scissors; little sprouts of green, separated, tucked into soil, and blessed by hands, big and small. Potatoes, baking away in the cob oven, taken out, passed round, and smothered with toppings. Children climbing trees, adults chatting on blankets, laughter and deep sharing flowing with the breeze. Let us not forget that we worship God with our delight, that we practice resurrection with our joy, that we experience Jesus as our winter skin warms and darkens under the spring sun. Let us not forget that we worship a God of Delight, Joy, and Light. Spring has come. “Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away, for behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come…The fig tree ripens its fig, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one,  and come away.” Song of Solomon 2:10-13

Pastor Anne Smith

Prayers

It is both our delight and duty to pray for each other. When we hold another under the healing stream of Divine Love, we are affirming our love for one another, our faith in Christ, and our dependency on him for life. Both the affirmation and the practice of prayer in turn heals and restores u. We are all made whole through our prayers for one another.  If you have a prayer need, please allow us to serve you in this way.

Southpoint for Newcomers

Conkers: If you are new to Southpoint, you might be puzzled by the little brown nuts in the offering basket? In this age of electronic interactions, how do we symbolize the act of giving to our children? The nuts are visible expression of the online giving happening behind the scenes. Feel free to take one and put one in the basket if you give on-line. POP tithe forms, which allow you to support Southpoint electronically on a pre-arranged monthly basis, are available.
