Each week, we'll keep you in the loop for all upcoming worship times, special events, and more.

We had so much fun at the Holiday Greens Workshop yesterday! Participants made one wreath or centerpiece to take home, and another to donate to the church for our Holiday Festival this Saturday. Come visit Woods this Saturday for Holiday Greens, baked goods, books, nuts, a white elephant room, photos with Santa, and more! ✨ Thank you to our very own Jenny Henry for hosting the Holiday Greens Workshop. #woodschurch #severnapark

Happy Friday, Woods Family! What's one thing the season of Autumn helps you reflect on? 👇

Happy Monday, Woods family! What's one thing from yesterday's sermon that stuck with you?

This upcoming Sunday is World Communion! As we prepare to join other Christians in the U.S., South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, bridging our geographic separation by coming together around Christ's table, we invite you to celebrate with us in-person at 9:30AM or 11AM. 🕊 Did you know? A gift to the Peace and Global Witness Special Offering enables the church to promote the Peace of Christ by addressing systems of conflict and injustice across the world.

Thank you to all who came out to Kick-Off Sunday! What an awesome way to start the year. We're happy to be back with 2 amazing services at 9:30AM (Traditional) and 11AM (Contemporary) on Sundays!

Today, we were able to donate over 100 bags of groceries to SPAN! Our awesome middle schoolers collected toiletries and canned goods in Olde Severna Park during their Mission Camp last week. Thank you for showing us how to be Christ’s hands and feet in Severna Park! #Matthew25 #PCUSA

What an eventful week at Woods! Our Middle School Mission Camp is just wrapping up today after a week of connecting with one another, learning from our volunteers, Mission Partners, and ministry members. These middle schoolers have been uncovering so much about all of the ways Woods serves the community through Christ!

Days 2 and 3 of our Faith in Action Summer Camp are all wrapped up! We are so excited and blessed that this wonderful group of children were able to participate in some of the ways Woods members stay active in our church community. Thank you to the Children’s Ministry, Prayer Shawl Ministry, our Worship and Sacraments Ministry, and Property Ministry for providing this awesome experience! Yesterday, children learned about our Prayer Shawl Ministry and made their own unique friendship bracelets and God’s Eyes. The Prayer Shawl Ministry gifted children knitted angels as they learned about the importance of community, helping, and providing for others. Today, everyone learned how to use hand bells at the instruction of our very own Director of Music and Arts, David Merrill! Music is a big part of how we praise God at Woods. Children were reminded that worship can come in the form of songs, poems, and words! The past few days have been filled with learning, team-building games, hands-on crafts, snacks, and an abundance of fun! #SevernaPark #PCUSA #churchcamp

Our Faith in Action Summer Camp is finally here! Today, we learned about the Woods Property Ministry. We made butterfly and caterpillar snacks, and then we embarked on a trek across campus to see if we could find any of our tiny friends! 🐛 We learned about which native plants our butterfly and caterpillar friends like the best, and even found a bird’s nest in one of our gardens! Today’s Biblical lesson comes from Genesis, where children are reminded that God created Earth; that He was proud of his creation, and invited us to be good stewards of all that He has provided for us.

FREE Car Washes tomorrow at Woods Church from 9AM–2PM! Be sure to stop by! Any and all donations support this year's WoodsWork trip, where our youth build houses with Habitat for Humanity. Your support helps us continue our 37-year partnership with Habitat, helping families build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. We accept donations in cash, card, and you can also donate to support our youth here by selecting 'Carwash' in the dropdown: https://onrealm.org/woodschurch/give/carwash We hope to see you (and your car) there!!!

In case you missed it, we have new Sanctuary Chairs! Thanks to our awesome Rehabbers, Property Staff, and a team of movers, all the chairs were successfully installed and ready for our Sunday services! What a great team. The same seats you sat in last Sunday are now seating our brothers and sisters in Christ, in different churches up and down the coast. We are so grateful that our old chairs (450 of them, to be exact) will have a new life ahead of them, again seating those in worship! Swipe to see the process of the Sanctuary Chairs being installed – from an empty sanctuary to a full one. "By grace, we have been saved, seated in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." taken from Ephesians 2:5-6

Happy Mother's Day from Woods Church! On this day, we celebrate all mothers and all of those who have been as mothers, and the special place they have held in our lives throughout the years. "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue." Proverbs 31:26 Comment the best advice your mom ever gave to you!

Remember to enjoy fellowship, bagels, and coffee after our 9:30AM or 11:00AM services tomorrow morning! Pastor Jack's sermon, "A Vision of Things to Come: 'Who's That Yonder Dressed in White?'" will be centered around scripture readings from Revelation 7:7-19 and John 10:22-30. All are welcome to join us!

And they're off! The first batch of our old Sanctuary chairs, which have served us well for 35 years, are en route to the Epicenter Fellowship of Churches, in Newport, NC. Rev. Daniel Newby and his son drove down from North Carolina this morning to pick them up! With the help of our awesome Rehabbers and Property Staff, the chairs were all swiftly loaded onto the truck. These chairs come with prayer shawls from the Woods Prayer Shawl Ministry, intended to wrap the recipients in love and prayers from Woods Church. We are happy that our chairs have found a new home. Our new chairs come in tomorrow!
