Christmas Joy is our tangible opportunity to extend hope to students and families in the community. We have the incredible privilege to come alongside to make sure they have a special Christmas. As we extend hope to our community our hope and prayer is that people know Jesus cares for them, our church cares for them, and our desire is to see people come to Jesus as a result of our love and generosity. We have worked with local school systems and we get to come alongside these families and make sure their kids have Christmas gifts under the tree along with a special Christmas dinner to enjoy together.

To join us in extending hope through Christmas Joy, visit southland.church/joy and select your campus to find out how you can participate. Contact Betty Hawkins at bhawkins@southland.church for more information!

On Monday, December 7, at 6:30pm in the Wayne B. Smith Chapel in Building A at the Nicholasville Campus, we will gather for our Annual Congregational Meeting. Our new Board of Elder candidates will be presented for confirmation and we’ll vote on the 2021 Operating Budget as well. All Southland partners are encouraged to attend and participate in this important process as we close out 2020 and launch into 2021!
