Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let your joy overflow! And let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near. Don't be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing." - Philippians 4:4-7

Join Us in Serving Our Community!
At Parkwood, we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and there are many opportunities to serve right now. We are looking for volunteers to help in the following areas:
- Meals on Wheels - Helping deliver meals and love to those in need within our community. A few hours of your time each Thursday morning can make a big difference!
- Nursery Workers - Serve our youngest members by caring for babies and toddlers during our services. A loving smile and helping hands are all you need!
- Bus Ministry - Join our team to help transport members and visitors who need a ride to church. Drivers and assistants are both needed.
If you feel called to serve or would like more information, please see any of the Deacons, contact the church office, or see the sign up sheets on the bulletin board. Let's all come together to make an impact for God's glory!
