News & Notes
Congregation & Community Care Fund
SRCC utilizes the Congregation & Community
Care Fund to assist in meeting the needs of
people in our congregation and community. The
fund provides help to people for utility bills,
groceries, rental & mortgage, car repairs &
gasoline, medical bills, and essential home
repairs like winterization. While contributions
may be made at any time, contributions to
replenish the fund are encouraged during the
Thanksgiving season out of thankfulness for
God’s provision in our own lives. Contributions
may be placed in the mailbox on the foyer wall.
Understanding Baptism
Baptism is an expression of faith in Jesus Christ
and a personal identification with His death and
resurrection. Whether you’re ready to take this
step or simply want to understand more, come
to Understanding Baptism, Wed., Oct. 22nd or
Wed., Nov. 5th in the church office 6:30-8pm.
Register at southridgecc.org.
Marked Men Weekend
Marked Men weekends are challenging and
intense, designed to help men face their
brokenness and find healing in Christ. Through
a unique combination of large and small group
experiences, Marked Men weekends provide a
guided pathway for men to identify past
wounds (deceit, fear, shame, anger, and
sadness) and take next steps in their walk with
God and their relationships with those around
them. Oct. 24th-26th there’ll be a Marked Men
weekend in Lebanon, NJ. To register, visit
markedmenforchrist.org. Stop by the kiosk for
more info.
SR Students’ Fall Retreat
The SR Students’ Jr. and Sr. High Fall Retreat is
Oct. 24-26 at Camp Tecumseh in Pittstown.
This beautiful country property is a great place
for the first retreat of the year and offers the
opportunity for connection through outdoor
activities, small group times, solid teaching and
worship. Drop off begins at 7pm Fri. evening
and pick up is Sun. at 12:30. You can find
detailed information and online registration at
southridgecc.org. October 20th is the last day
to register.
Catalyst Group
Catalyst Group is a leadership development
experience that spiritually shapes, connects, &
equips leaders who are considering leading or
currently leading Groups @ South
Ridge. Rather than adding another regular
commitment, Catalyst Group takes place over
the course of one Sunday lunch on Nov 9th and
one weekend: Nov 14th – 16th. Think of it as a
community-building, leadership development
retreat, but you get to sleep in your own comfy
bed! To find out more, stop by the kiosk or
visit southridgdecc.org.
Crossroads Christian
Academy
Groups, Growth &
Connecting Points
One of our core values that we seek to instill in
students at Crossroads is learning to give of
ourselves to bless and help others – to Extend
God’s Love. Last Wednesday we kicked off the
Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child
project to collect and pack shoe boxes with a
mixture of useful and fun objects that are sent
to needy children around the world. On
Tuesday, our Jr. High harvested vegetables at
America’s Grow-A-Row. It is a significant part
of growing up when we see other’s needs and
participate in showing others that Jesus loves
them.
Groups, Growth, & Connecting Points
Groups @ South Ridge are small communities
where people are changed by God’s Spirit as
they experience belonging, embrace God’s
grace, and extend God’s love. They’re places
where people “grow in 3D” (3 directions) in,
up, and out. Three types of groups are offered:
Serving Opportunities
SRCC Prison Ministry
The SRCC Prison Ministry exists to create a path
for God’s healing in inmate’s lives by facilitating
groups and worship services at Edna Mahan
Correctional Facility. Visit southridgecc.org or

more info.
Homeless Ministry
Several times a year, SRCC volunteers assist at
area churches to house and feed the homeless
through Family Promise. Email Laura Kroon at
[email protected].

Arch today at 2:15pm and Rolling Hills Sunday,
October 26th at 2:30pm. For more info, email
Rozan Brown at [email protected].
Helping Hands
This is a ministry designed to connect people
who have needs with people who can help
meet those needs! From preparing a meal,
donating items, transportation, minor repairs,
yard work to snow removal, there are times in
all of our lives when we have true needs. It is a
blessing to give and a blessing to receive! If you
are interested in serving in Helping Hands,
please fill out a card located on the display rack
and drop it in the display mailbox.
