Welcome Back, Dr. Roxburgh!

We experienced a wonderful day of worship this past Sunday as Dr. Ken Roxburgh returned to the pulpit and began a series of sermons developed around the question, “Does God Care?” Following worship, a covered-dish meal afforded those present the opportunity to experience a rich time of fellowship. Thank you to everyone who helped make this an outstanding time together. Each week there are numerous opportunities for individuals to grow spiritually and to connect with their church family by participating in worship, study, fellowship, missions and ministry events. Take a moment to prayerfully consider your participation in these opportunities that will enrich your life and strengthen Southside Baptist Church, making us all better able to be the presence of Christ in our community and beyond.

I enjoy our journey together,

Tim Kelley

A Place for Everyone

Dear Church,

“Dog Days” is a term people in the South often use to refer to the long, hot and sultry days of late summer. But “dog days” actually refers to the convergence of the constellation Sirius and the sun. It also closely coincides with what folks in rural farming areas call “lay-by time” which is the time in the growing season when all that one can do for the crops has been done, and farmers rest from their labors.
