Weekly Viewpoint - Southview Church

June 14 & 15, 2025

Hello friends! We hope that somewhere in these links, descriptions, stories and videos you find a next step for yourself into the richness of life together as we seek to learn from Jesus. If you are unsure where to begin, please contact one of our staff; we’d love to help you.

Before we dive in to this week’s updates, we’re looking for a few more volunteers to help out with our annual Stampede Breakfast July 10. Please email deonne@southviewchurch.com to get in touch with the team. Thank YOU Southview for serving the community!

Also, we’re hosting a bottle drive next weekend in support of missions. Just bag up your bottles and leave them behind your vehicle for our volunteers to collect at all services.

Jr High Graduation Celebration

Grade 9 Students: Join us at the Janz’s household to celebrate a new chapter! We will be outside, so please dress appropriately for the weather.

Dinner is included. Please note that due to the nature of this event being off-site, we will not be accepting registrations for guests of students – parents of all attendees must register their own child.

Join us as we end our year with a BBQ at a property outside of town. We will be grilling some hamburgers and hotdogs (including chips and drinks), sitting around a fire pit, and hanging out in the barn, playing pool and air hockey.

What do you like on your burgers? If you can, please bring your favorite toppings to share, whether they’re wild or simple! We will provide cheese and condiments, so feel free to get creative! Dress for the weather, bring a lawn/camping chair, games and your toppings. This is an open event, so bring a friend! Please register before June 17.
