Dear Church Family,
Southside Baptist Church began back in 1952 in a home not far from the current site we currently worship in now. God had directed several people to start a church on the south side of town. It started with very humble beginnings but with big hearts and a wonderful vision. The folks didn’t have much but had what they needed. They had faith that God was with them all the way. I don’t know if you have noticed but the history committee has been putting some of the history of the church on the new bulletin board in the foyer. I encourage you to check it out and see where our amazing church has come from. You may not know the folks mentioned or pictured, but it can give you an idea of where we have come from as a church and how God has shaped who we are today. Homecoming will be the first Sunday in May, which we will be celebrating 74 years as a church. Our speaker this year is our very own Brother James Bozeman. He is a retired pastor and has served in several churches for many years prior to coming to our church. He and his wife Tonya joined our church last December and I am excited to hear the Word through him. Our musical guests will be the Wilson Family. They are from Robertsdale and have been playing and singing for many years as a family. When I called to ask if they were available, they jumped on the opportunity to come and worship with us. I hear they are very good and love the Lord. They play several different instruments and sing and I’m ready to see how God is going to bless our service this year. I know you probably don’t care, but we will have lunch to follow, and I need everyone that can to bring some food to share. Worship is very important, but I believe fellowship is as well. It is a good way to get to know your church family better and to encourage each other. You are a part of Southside Baptist Church and can be a difference in the future of this church. Who knows? You may be on the history board one day many years from now. Pray God will use you and that you can make an impact on His Kingdom.
God Bless,
Pastor Jason
