What If I Didn’t Get a Box or Missed Worship Jan. 4?
If you were unable to be in worship Jan. 4, please listen to Mike's sermon on the home page. Come by the church office during the week or pick up a box on Sunday at the Information Desk.

What Do I Do with My Box?
Be sure to pull out the booklet (it was in the bottom of the box) and put it in a prominent place in your house (on the kitchen table, by your tv watching chair, bedside table, etc.) and read, read, read. Mike's next three sermons will tap into each part of this booklet. Be in church the next three Sundays as he unpacks the box. Don't forget to read the questions on the strips of paper in the box!

Operation Christmas Child Hits New High With Southwood!
For years, Southwood has participated in Samaritan’s Purses’ Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box Project but 2008 marked an all time high for Southwood’s involvement!
