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.

Sunday, October 13
God has lit a fire at Southwood. We are a church that serves. Worship with us on Sunday, October 13 to get a picture of all the ways God is working in and through the people of Southwood to make a difference. Spend time in the fellowship hall throughout the morning to talk with volunteers involved with Southwood’s mission partners and see photos from the past year in Missions. There will also be an opportunity for a special offering on Mission Sunday that will provide support for all mission activities.
