If you did not get one, and you'd like to make sure you get a quick phone call from Pastor Keith every couple weeks, make sure you put your current contact information on a Connection Card (in the pocket on the back of the chairs at church) - and write on the back, Add Me to the Phone List. We'll get you added.

See you tomorrow at church! >>Full story...

Beginning January 3rd, the new sermon series that Pastor Keith has been teaching from is called Dollars & Sense. It's been an especially meaningful and timely set of messages about the Lordship of Jesus Christ and what that means in a practical way in our lives. It's a challenge to give the Lord a true Lordship over everything in our lives. He showed a video, called The Stool that you should see if you missed it!

Our memory verse, Malachi 3:10, is prominently featured in this themed design that you can download right here at our web site for the background on your computers. >>Full story...

It's Valentine's Day...Picture yourself at an elegant, romantic, Italian dinner, complete with dessert, and a movie. Experience a lovely evening with someone special, catered by Luna's of Clovis, all for $50 a couple.

What a wonderful way to celebrate Valentine's Day and invest in the lives of our UTURN youth group as they personally invest their time in the evening. The profits of the dinner will go towards their True Love Waits train trip to Oakland. >>Full story...

Our kids in Kid's Life are learning about the Bible, how to use it, and what's in it! Part of that is learning the books of the Bible - and they started today with this hip music video.

The whole family can learn to sing to this rap-beat video of all the books of the Bible.

Study after study proves that nearly everyone can memorize songs ten times faster and better than they can the same thing as words or sentences. In fact, the first 'news reporters' were traveling minstrels that went from village to village, singing and performing the news that they learned along the way. >>Full story...

Do you simply come to church, sing along with the worship team, listen to the sermon and leave, wondering what you are missing in your relationship with the Lord?

Well, YOU need to join a Living Links Group!

Why, you say? Living Links is a wonderful way for people to plug in and have a sense of ownership in the church and accountability to others. Currently there are three Living Links Groups that meet every Wednesday evening from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. It is not a formal Bible study but a safe place to, meet people, share your life with others, enjoy wonderful fellowship and strengthen your walk with the Lord. >>Full story...

This Christmas season the lives of many families and individuals were touched by the unselfish giving of our SouthPoint members through the Food Pantry and Christmas Dinner Outreach. What a wonderful way to put into practice what Jesus asked us to do….Love God - Love Others!
