TRANSCRIPT
reminds us how ‘twisted’
our cultural values have
become when support for
traditional family when he
says “the threat to your
business is support of the
traditional family.”
One Facebook entry I
read was - “Oh I wish we
had a Chick-fil-A in
Jefferson City!” Jude and
I do support the
Chick-fil-A in the St. Louis
Metro area quite often!
And, to think that
Chick-fil-A is also closed
on Sundays!!!!! WOW!!!!
In another blog by Joel
Rossenberg, Billy Graham
is calling for 2 Chron. 7:14
Prayer and revival in
America
Cont. p 4
“Dan Cathy, president and chief operating officer of Chick-fil-A, gave an interview to Baptist Press. Correctly saying that there is no such thing as a “Christian business,” he did offer that organizations such as his can operate on biblical principles “asking God and pleading with God to give us wisdom on decisions we make about people and the programs and partnerships we have.”
Then came the match that lit the fire. When asked about the company’s support of the traditional family, Cathy simply said, “Well, guilty as charged.” He then went on to say, “We are very much supportive of the family – the biblical defini-tion of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business … our
From Pa s to r Ron
restaurants are typically led by families. … We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families.” (from
James Emery White’s blog)
For comments supporting
traditional family, Chick-fil-A
is being boycotted by Boston,
MA and other cities who are
accusing the restaurant of
being “anti-gay”. He didn’t
say that!

Annual Church Picnic - August 26 2:00 - 7:00 pm Rickman Center
This has been a fast, hot summer. As August begins, we look forward to school
start, some eagerly and some anxiously. One of the highlights of the
Southridge family’s summer is the Annual church picnic to wrap up the summer
season. Everyone is asked to bring 2 side dishes and a dessert to share. Terry
Hale and the Southridge BBQ crew make the yummiest hot dogs and
hamburgers.
Everyone is invited to fellowship and if you dare, challenge the corn toss kings
(Bob Batey, Doug Griswold, and Pastor Ron) to a match. Or step into the sand
pit for a fun game of volleyball, splash around in the pool or just visit in the
dining hall.
2-5pm pool is open (with lifeguard)

and-the-need-for-spiritual-revival/). We’ve been praying for personal, church,
state, and nationwide Revival since May 21 and are beginning to see some signs of
the activity of God among us. Some have said how Satan is attacking them in
greater force, and others have indicated how their attitudes are shifting to be
more Christlike! Let’s persevere!!!!!
These are great days and great opportunities to be bold for Jesus and love
people!!!!
I love you and love being your pastor. Thanks for your prayerful encouragement
during the sermon series on the parables! And, for the continued prayer for
Revival!!!

See you and a friend there!
“Nollaig Shona Dhaoibh!” (Nope – not a typo – it’s Gaelic for “You have a happy Christmas!” Pronouced NO-Lihg HO-nuh JEEV And it is what Southridge Worship Choir will begin working on for this Christmas. It is good to start thinking about Christmas this early – not for the commericalism – but for the Christ child. Our pastor has asked us to pray for revival –as we do – remember when they prayed for the Messiah to come the first time – when he comes again it will not be as an infant this time. Let’s make Christ evident all year long

Looking Ahead
• August is here and it is a back to school transition for students
and families. The reactions I hear from students are some
want school to start and others are not looking forward to it.
• In August we will resume our normal Wednesday night routine
at Southridge. We start our Midweek Lifeline at 6:30 and end
around 8:15. I look forward to seeing everyone as we begin a
new school year.
• The only Wednesday night that will be a little different is
August 15th. We are having our Back to School Bash swim
party/cookout at the Hale’s house. We will LEAVE the church
at 5:30 and return back to church around 9:00. Please plan
rides accordingly. Big thanks to Terry and Jane for hosting!!!
• Please be in prayer for our students as they go back to school
and enter their number one mission field. Here are the dates
they return to classes: Jeff City Aug. 16, Blair Oaks Aug. 15,
and Russellville Aug. 23. We have student missionaries in
each of these public schools. What a great impact for the
Kingdom we can have!!!
Prayer Calendar
Every student in our youth group will be
a part of the prayer calendar. A youth
will be spotlighted and focused on for
one week. Please pray for this student
during that week and ask that God will
place a special blessing on them as
they go about their daily lives. Maybe
send them a note of encouragement or
a phone call or text to let them know
you’re praying for them.
Here’s the schedule for this month:
1st week: Elizabeth Thomas 2nd week: Ben Phelps 3rd week: Kelly Edoho 4th week: Dylan Renaud 5th week: Hannah Tracy
Looking Back
• We participated in the last session of “Back Yard Bible Clubs”
during July 9-11. Thanks to all who were involved in making
this effort a success.
• On Wednesday night July 18th we had 35 students come out
for our Putt Putt Night at Turkey Creek. This was an
awesome time to have fun and get together after a few weeks
of inconsistency. Thanks to all those who helped chaperone
and provide transportation.
• What do you do when it has been 90 plus degrees for over 30
days? Take a student ministry trip to Big Surf. That’s what it
seems like everyone was thinking when 30 plus students and
their friends decided to take this opportunity on July 25th.
Praise the Lord once again for adults to help out and
transport students.
