Summer Sundays
Summer 2026
This summer, we’re leaning into the beauty of a slower pace, taking time to linger in worship, in fellowship, and in praise to God.
Summer has a way of filling up fast, travel, family time, long weekends. But in the middle of it all, one thing can keep you grounded each week: time with God and connection with others.
At Southside , Summer Sundays are designed to help you stay consistent, stay encouraged, and stay connected all season long.
Join us each week as we worship, grow, and embrace Summer Sundays together.

6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
We’re excited to invite you to this year’s Southside Women’s Ministries Summer Salads Speaker Series, centered on the powerful promise of Beauty from Ashes.
“To give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…” – Isaiah 61:3
Just like the Fireweed flower that blooms brightly after a wildfire, this summer we’ll gather to hear stories of hope, healing, and restoration, reminders that even in life’s hardest seasons, God is still at work bringing beauty.
Wednesdays, July 8, July 15, and July 22
Each evening will feature an inspiring guest speaker, meaningful connection around the table, and a fresh summer dinner shared in community.
Invite a friend, a neighbor, or someone who could use a little encouragement. These are the kinds of nights where hearts are lifted and faith is renewed.
Childcare is available with ticket purchase
Please include children in your registration so we can prepare for them.
