Winter Bible Study

A Cord of Many Stories: Strength in the Unity of God’s Word

An 8-week Bible Study led by Bob Kacvinsky
Sundays at 9:45 AM in the Fellowship Hall from January 4th - February 22nd (no homework - come as you can - nursery available)

Many of us are familiar with the stories of Jesus in the Gospel that we learned in Sunday School and periodic readings. We may even be able to recite some of the memory passages. Yet is there more to the stories? In this study, we’ll explore the deeper layers—uncovering historical and cultural backgrounds, connections to the Old Testament, theological insights, and the lasting impact these stories had on those who lived them and on us today. A cord of multiple (deeper-layered) strands is not quickly torn apart Ecclesiastes 4:12.

Why does Southwood engage in mission—and how do we live it out together? Join us for this Southwood Seniors gathering as we explore the heart of mission at Southwood Lutheran Church. Malissa Pauling, Southwood's Director of Missions, will reflect on the why behind our mission work, the values that guide it, and the many ways God calls us to serve—locally and beyond. This conversation invites us to see mission not just as something we do, but as a faithful response to God’s love at work in the world.
