• Southside Men - Our next study, and the focus of this year, is: The Christian Man, by Patrick Morley. A very trusted guide in the world of men's discipleship, Morley met with a group of 24 men over a period of time to talk to them, ask them questions, and listen to their thoughts. He wanted to know what they thought the most compelling issues men face were. He boiled all their answers down and came up with a Top Ten list of the most compelling issues we face as men. This study starts January 15th.
  
  In this study, we're going to work through the book to discuss these issues together. Email Dale Tedder, d.tedder@southsidemethodist.org for more information.

Our next study, to get ready for the Lenten Season, will be a study called, The Cross of Jesus. 

The angel told Mary and Joseph that their son's name would be "Jesus," for he would save his people from their sin. The cross, instead of being a cruel and meaningless death, was how God chose to reconcile the world to himself. The back of the study guide reminds us, "our worship, our call to mission, our ability to love our enemies and to face the perplexities of suffering" are all transformed by the cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

We will return from holiday break on Sunday, January 5th.
