Woodward family,
It has been a wonderful summer so far at Woodward, and I’m so thankful for all that God is doing in our midst! I’m especially excited to announce that Choir will resume on Wednesday, September 3rd. We’ll begin working on Christmas music as well as new songs for the fall season. This is a great time to jump in if you’ve been considering joining!
For Discipleship, I’m thrilled to share that we’re launching two new Sunday School classes this fall:
- One for those in their mid-30s to 40s
- Another for those in their 50s and 60s
In addition, we’ll be offering our second Adult Bible School on September 16th–18th from 9:00–11:00 AM. This time, we’ll be focusing on Baptist Distinctives. I look forward to this time of learning and growing together. We’ve already seen great interest in these opportunities, and I’m excited about what God is going to do through them!
To help foster growth and deeper connection within each class, we’re encouraging every Sunday School group to develop a few key leadership roles:
- Hosts– guide conversations toward life transformation, not just information sharing
- Organizers– plan fellowships and align group activities with the church calendar
- Mission Leaders– lead outreach and mission efforts within the group
- Encouragers– offer follow-up and prayer support to class members
We believe these roles will help strengthen our classes and better equip us to care for one another as our church continues to grow.
Finally, we still need of volunteers to help run our cameras and video switcher on Sunday mornings. If you’d like to serve in this important ministry, please let me know!
I’m genuinely excited about all that’s ahead this fall and am praying consistently that we will seek the Lord’s wisdom in all things.
In Christ,
TK
