Every Day Matters. 

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Welcome to Woodland!
We are excited to invest in your life today.
Our goal is to help you know that through God we have a life of hope, purpose and joy. You are worth the investment and we want to be a church who values who God created you to be.
You Matter! We’re glad you’re here!

Thanksgiving Dinner & Business Meeting

Sunday, November 14

5:00p Dinner / 6:00p Meeting

This is a great opportunity for Ministry Partners to come and enjoy some fellowship over a Turkey Dinner where WE provide the meat, and the side dishes are up to you! It’s a old fashioned potluck - just bring a side of your liking to share OR a dessert. We’ll provide everything else. 
Then immediately following the meal is our Annual Business Meeting. We vote on the new 2022 budget, and elect Deacons and Committee Members. This is for Ministry Partners of Woodland. No need to sign-up please just come!
