Memorial & Celebratory Messages for Homecoming 2022
“Ephesians 5:14 reads:
For anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Woodland Awake.....
As we celebrate this wonderful 154 Years of God’s faithfulness in our church and our lives, the Lord will do a new thing in our church and our lives and nothing will be able to stop it. Let’s prepare for the Reawakening 2022!”

“Happy 154th Birthday, Woodland!”
“Congratulations on your 154th Homecoming. It has been a pleasure to serve as your moderator these past years. There is plenty evidence that your faith has brought you this far. In particular, your efforts to reorganize your ministries as you put on the full armor of the Lord and move forward. One word of caution if I may. Don’t be too expeditious to discard your past practices. God has kept you through
them. Prayerfully examine each one for viability in your new ministry model. Stand on the sure Word of the Lord and He will be faithful to keep his promises to you. May everything you do be to the glory of God and the unity of His kingdom. Remember “normal” is not coming back. Jesus is! May God continue to bless and keep you.”
