THIS WEEK @ SOUTH SHORE UMC

NEW SMALL GROUP

God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? We invite you to join Jesus After Dark, a small group of SSUMC, meeting Monday nights at 9:00pm. Yes, you read that right....9:00pm. Our next study, beginning Monday, January 20th is “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan. God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts—it's falling in love with God. For more information, including location, contact Mary Priolo at marypriolocpa@yahoo.com or 813.767.1849.

CALLED TO LEAD?

Pastor Sarah celebrates answered calls to lead at South Shore UMC!

As a result our Trustees Committee has a full complement of members;

Staff Parish and Finance each have one new member.

Pastor Sarah is seeking two men – one to serve on Staff Parish, who oversee and partner with our staff in developing leaders, and another to serve on Finance, who oversee our church's stewardship and celebrates our church's generosity.

These teams meet a maximum of six times a year and work efficiently when they gather. Pastor Sarah will equip you with training and resources to make your service successful and satisfying. Please continue to be in prayer for our church family, for God to stir persons' hearts for leadership and service to respond to

this call. If you feel called to serve, please connect with Pastor Sarah at sarah@southshoreumc.com.
