We Care Hours

Tuesdays, 1:00pm - 3:00pm

Wednesdays, 9:30am - 11:30am

Thursdays, 9:30am - 11:30am

We Care is a ministry of Woodlawn Church!

The We Care volunteers are grateful to our church family and the generous donations you give monthly. Feed the Gulf, the organization that provides our meat at an affordable price to us, has run low the last three months. Normally we are able to give two to three meats per family that we assist. It has been difficult to provide one. For this reason, our Wish List for June consists of canned meats such as tuna, chicken and roast beef. We Care, because You Care. Thank you!

Created For a Purpose Bible Study

Thrusdays from 6:00pm - 7:30pm

in the Dot Wood Room

In our group we will study 'Lyrics of Life; A Psalm for Every Situation' by Lisa Harper. We sometimes feel like we need to curate our emotions when we talk to God, but God wants us to come to Him honestly, no matter what we are feeling or going through. Using the RightNow Media app, Lisa Harper teaches from the book of Psalms; looking at the variety of circumstances faced by followers of God. In this series, we learn how to find comfort in any situation based on this songbook of the people of God.

This study will be every Thursday through June 20th.

If you have any questions contact Maria on 847-756-0254.
