Southwood Presbyterian Church

Volunteers will provide companionship for one of our special needs members; Brandon (age 15). Volunteers are not responsible for Brandon's physical needs (taken care of by a trained worker joining our volunteers). This is a very tangible and loving way to serve him and his family on Sunday mornings.

To be a companion, you must be a Southwood member and successfully complete an application which includes a background check.

Time Commitment: During the school year (Sep 11, 2011 - May 27, 2012) for one Sunday every other month from either 9:15am - 10:45am (4 more volunteers needed) or 10:45am - 12:05pm (4 more volunteers needed).

During Sunday mornings, greet families and children who participate in nursery, KidsWorship and Children's Sunday School.
