Jammies & Jesus

Start your Sunday with a dish of Sunshine! Join Pastor Randy and Ms. Kat for Jammies and Jesus. We will gather on Zoom, 8AM, to pray and play as we have a bowl of cereal and remember that this is the day that the Lord has made! Before heading out to the ballfield/pitch/field or while you get ready to worship, start your day with fifteen minutes of fellowship and fun.

Commitment Sunday

This Sunday, it's time to act on the Stewardship invitation to "Come Home to Woods." Our Commitment Sunday is May 7. Members and friends of Woods are invited to submit a pledge card during our worship services to help our church leaders budget for the coming months and as a sign of support for the many Woods ministries that help translate the good news of Christ into living, faithful programs all year round. You also can mail in the pledge card you received earlier or fill out a pledge online by clicking the link below or visiting Woodschurch.org.

Joining our Stewardship Campaign now saves us having to make follow-up calls or send letters later. Help us reach our goal of 260 pledges so we can ensure Woods is a "faith home" for generations to come!

Youth Group

Our Youth Group will meet on Sunday, May 7, 5:30–7PM.

This biweekly fellowship time includes a meal, activity, lesson, and time for connecting with friends old and new. For more information, contact Pastor Randy or the church office.

Confirmation Sunday

Over the past year, a class of 18 students has worked diligently with their advisors (Sarah Thompson, Charity Matta, Chris Dearing, Josh Thompson, and Nicole & Jeff Jeffers) and teachers (Elizabeth Cahoon, Randy Bush, and Kat Green) to complete the Confirmation process. They will be going on a final retreat this weekend and will be received as new members of Woods Church on Sunday, May 14, during our 11AM service.

Congratulate these young people when you see them and celebrate their accomplishment in two weeks!

Wholeness Service

There will be a Service of Wholeness on Wednesday, May 17, 6:45PM, in the Sanctuary. This is a deeply spiritual service of prayer, laying on of hands and anointing by the pastors and elders for those experiencing emotional or physical concerns.

If you would like to attend, please contact Maureen Adams at
410.647.2550 or madams@woodschurch.org.


See You in Church!
