Ritual of Remembrance
On Sunday, November 9, worship will include the tradition of honoring Woodfords community members who have died since the prior year’s All Saints’ Day. We will name individuals who have passed away and light candles in their honor.
We once again would like to include in the remembrance liturgy the names of additional beloved friends and family members who have died in the last year. If you would like the name of a deceased friend or family member to be lifted up during the service, please send your loved one’s name to Rev. Alyssa (alodewick@woodfordschurch.org).

Feed My Lambs,
Tend My Sheep!
With 10,000 to 20,000 Mainers losing the SNAP assistance that helps feed their families, Championing Justice will continue to have ‘the bowl’ at the back of the church each Sunday,
so that we can continue to help. Whatever you can give – a dime, a dollar, or $5 or more – every dollar helps! Every bit makes a difference.
You can also send a check to WCC
and write the word “Hunger” on the memo line. The CJ team will see that your donation gets to a food pantry in our area.
Thank you for all you do and keep on doing as God calls us to help our neighbors.
