Gift of Love

Thank you to everyone who took part in this year’s Gift of Love Celebration! Together, we made Christmas a little brighter for 1,00 family members by helping them choose gifts for one another, while sharing the love, kindness, and hope found in Christ. Whether you served, donated or perhaps you were on the receiving end this year as you and your family walk through a difficult season, we trust that God was in the midst of our time together. We pray that He continues to work in the hearts of all who experienced the Gift of Love this year.

ABLE: Hope for the Future. Love for the City.

ABLE is fueling ministry and reducing debt. We’re less than one year into the giving initiative, and we’ve already received $2,900,000. Thanks to your generosity, we’re off to a solid start toward the $10,000,000, three-year goal.

We’re already seeing results! We’ve reduced our long-term debt. And thanks to your gifts, Woodmen Downtown is off to an amazing start. Attendance has doubled as more people experience the love of Jesus. 

ABOVE AND BEYOND

​Our year-end goal is to reach the $3,300,000 mark by December 31. And thanks to a few generous lead-gifts, we received $250,000 in just the few weeks. We’re less than $400,000 away from the goal! If we each do our part, we’ll get there together!

​Hitting $3,300,000 by year-end will set the stage for phase 2 of renovations Downtown. Improvements in kids and students spaces are next up. And great things are still ahead for our downtown community, including a coffee shop to foster hope-filled conversations with friends and neighbors.

This month, will you prayerfully consider an above-and-beyond gift, as we give back to God for all He’s done? He is able, and we’re excited for the story He is writing through the people of Woodmen!

Story Of The Week

Christmas Eve Serving

Christmas Eve is right around the corner, and we’re getting ready to welcome thousands of friends and neighbors across all our campuses! It’s a chance for us to share the hope and glory of Christ’s birth with a community that desperately needs good news. We’ll host Christmas Eve services at 10 AM, 12 PM, 2 PM, 4 PM, and 6 PM. We’re excited to have you join us! Could you take a look at your schedule and give some thought to serving? Lots of folks attend one service and serve at another. Serving alongside friends or family is a lot of fun and it’s a great way to remember what Christ has done for us.

Advent Calendar

Do you hate to wait? Whether it’s instant oatmeal, on-demand TV, we want it now. And the weeks leading up to Christmas only accelerate the pace of life. Yet the rhythm of real relationship with the God of eternity cannot be rushed. We hope you’ll join us on an advent calendar journey. It’s an invitation to slow down and center our hearts on Christ. In each weekly calendar, you’ll find a brief thought, song or video devotional for each day. As we wait in expectation, let our souls join the refrain of God’s people throughout the centuries proclaiming, “Come, Lord Jesus. Come.”
