Faith growth in community allows you to learn from others and feel supported as you build relationships. Whether it's a Sunday morning pastor-led class in the Fellowship Hall, a Men's or Women's study or a Small Group that meets in a home, there's always someone waiting to journey with you.
Saturday, April 20, 9-10:30AM, in the Fellowship Hall
Keynote Speaker: Amy Kloefkorn, a coach with RISE Lincoln (empowering women leaders), Sr. Director of Development at UNL, certified professional coach and Southwood member/volunteer.
Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. Amy will help you create meaningful and intentional change in your life through the power of accountability, gratitude and abundance.

People who feel cared about have less stress, better emotional health, increased resilience and
are more likely to care for others well. In fact, receiving and giving care is one of the most
important ways a church community can feel like family. Come learn how Southwood cares for
others and what serving opportunities might be the perfect match for you. Come join us - we
care about you!
