Worship Committee Ministry Team - With imagination and creativity, this team seeks to plan joyful worship, for the gathered people of God to be nurtured, sustained, and to be empowered by God's word to act as Jesus' disciples in the world. Consider being a liturgist and read the scripture, the call to worship, and other parts of worship during the service on Sunday. Join in planning special services too, like Native American Sunday, Migrant Sunday and More Light Sunday. Contact Dorsett Edmunds if you'd like to be involved.
Facilities and Maintenance Ministry Team - Much of the work around the sanctuary and fellowship hall is done by volunteers. If you have skills in this area, and would be willing to help, contact Robin Zenger.

The Congregational Nurture Committee - This team facilitates Christian fellowship. They strive to create and maintain a caring church community for individuals and families to come together in friendship, respect and joy. By welcoming people, celebrating special events, reaching out to members, and breaking bread together, the committee upholds the congregational care of Southside. Contact Corinne Chavez or Shari Larson for more information. |

Social and Environmental Justice Committee - Responding to God's call to action in an unjust world is a special passion of Southside. This ministry team works to mobilize Southside's response to the inequities and oppression of our brothers and sisters in our barrio, the borderlands and the world. They oversee community programs of Southside: Cross Street Ministries and the Day Labor Center. If you would like to help guide decisions on how Southside is called to help our neighbors, join the Social and Environmental Justice Committee or speak with the Elders Greg Lewis or Doug Larson, for more details. |

Adult Education Ministry Team - Responsible for the ongoing education of the congregation, the Adult Education Ministry Team leads, arranges and publicizes Bible studies, topical discussions, book study groups, and guest speakers. They also strive to become aware of, coordinate, and promote educational opportunities beyond the boundaries of our church and our denomination. Opportunities for adult education are generally held Sundays following worship. Occasionally, we hold events at other times and promote events in the broader community. Join us as we further examine our faith through a variety of topics. Contact Lisa Anderson for more information.
Community Engagement Ministry Team - This team has the responsibility of being a bridge between our church and our immediate neighborhood. The purpose of the committee is to develop stronger relationships with our neighbors, work more closely with neighborhood organizations, and find appropriate ways for congregation members to become involved in our community. Please contact Karan Stewart for more information.
Join the Choir - Choir meets at 7 pm in the Kiva every Wednesday, except for the months of July and August. All are welcome. Talk to Mrs. Reid or Susan Halversen for more details.
Host Coffee Hour - Every week someone or a group of people prepares snacks and goodies for coffee hour in the Fellowship Hall after church. You can sign up on the sign-up sheet next to the kitchen doorway. Bring a few plates of cookies, some chips or crackers, fruit, or punch or lemonade. Coffee is provided - you just need to set it up (directions are next to the sign-up sheet). Please contact Susan Halversen or Teena Cross for questions.
