We are Called to Serve

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. 
1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)

God calls us uniquely and equips each of us with special talents. You can make a unique contribution in the body of Christ and we want to help put your gifts and passions to work. At Southwood Lutheran, we offer serving opportunities at Southwood, in the community and around the world. Learn more about each serving opportunity and find a fit for you using the descriptions below.

It’s Christmas in July at Southwood!  

Southwood's Community Mission partners and Care Ministries use gift cards collected in July to support people in need.  You can help by purchasing gift cards for gas, groceries or casual restaurants in any amount.  Bring the cards to Southwood Central to be distributed to our Community Mission Partners and Care Ministries. 

Donated gift cards provide:

  • Gas for someone to be able to get to work
  • Runza meal for a family while Mom is in the hospital
  • A way to buy groceries for someone who lost their job
  • Compassion and understanding during challenging times
