Southwood Garden
Everyone is welcome to help with planting and preparing the garden.
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.

Giving Trees are up in the narthex, filled with Christmas wishes from our Mission Partners and Southwood families. By taking a tag from the trees at Southwood or online, you can fulfill a wish and brighten Christmas for a child, a woman escaping abuse, or a family going through crisis.
