Dear South Palm Partners,

This coming Sunday, May 11 we have crafted a fabulous Mother's Day Service that not only includes great worship but also some very meaningful moments for families. In addition to our Parent/Child Dedication at both services we will be launching the new "relationship" series entitled: WHO KNEW?


  • What Women Wish Men Knew
  • What Men Wish Women Knew
  • What Kids Wish Their Parents Knew

Please don't miss the opener if you are married, single, divorced, or whatever. If you are in town, find out ... WHO KNEW!



"HERE I AM, SEND ME!"

As most of you are aware, our government is undergoing what is now known as an Economic Stimulus Package where Americans are receiving a tax rebate in order to stimulate our sagging economy.

As I mentioned on Sunday, I want to suggest that in the month of May, beginning THIS Sunday, May 11 we launch a Missions Stimulus Package, going "above and beyond" what we normally give to make a difference around the world. I want to suggest that some of us might take our tax rebate or other ways that we have been blessed financially and multiply it to make a difference around the world. As we do that, we will stimulate the transformation of our world, increasing the size of heaven one life at a time!

A generous family in our church has agreed to provide matching funds for every dollar given to missions THIS Sunday up to $20,000. Click here to give online to Thailand MissionsThis means that you can double your impact by bringing your first and best gift to this worthy cause this Sunday! Yea, God!

Our God-sized goal for Thailand Missions this year is $60,000 given "above & beyond" our regular giving.

If you are not able to be present Sunday and wish to double your impact this week for missions, you can give online (under MISSIONS: local & global section) by clicking on the Thailand image
