Winter Reminder If stormy weather forces the ministry team to cancel worship on Sunday, the information will appear on TV channels 6, 8, and 13 shortly after 7:00AM Sunday morning. The information will also be on the church voice mail. During weekdays, if school is cancelled, it is very likely your class/meeting/event will be cancelled; check the church voice mail or your email to be sure!
What's Happening at Woodfords This Week? Our Mission and Vision StatementWe aspire to be a "God Centered," Inclusive Christian," "Just Peace," and "Open and Affirming" church. We seek to broaden our understanding of God's intention for peace and wholeness (Biblical Shalom) and to become creators of "Just Peace" within ourselves and in our families, church community and beyond. We endeavor to be a thoroughly inclusive church, all the while working together to live out our covenant commitment to be disciples of Jesus Christ.
