Today is Jeff Hill’s last day as our preacher at Southside. There will be a farewell lunch following the worship service. Plan to stay and shower Jeff with our love and well wishes. Tuesday he will be leaving for York, NE where he has accepted a teaching position at York College. Cards or notes letting Jeff know how he has impacted you are requested and any contributions should be directed to WCYC.
Sunday morning Class and Worship is now held in person as well as live-streamed. You are welcome to join us! At Southside, we will allow 100% capacity without mask requirements in the auditorium but suggest you continue to follow CDC recommendations in regards to vaccinated and unvaccinated people. If you wish to remain masked and distanced from others, the fellowship room is set up to allow this. Please do not enter the fellowship room without a mask. Of course, if you are ill or have had recent contact with someone who is ill, please stay home. There is no evening worship at this time.
