Welcome! We are glad you are in worship with us! It is our hope that the presence of God is made real to you today.
9:05 and 11:15 Sanctuary and 10:10 Worship Center Service Today’s Message: Qualities For Sale
Today’s Scripture: James 1:5 & I John 5:14-15 NIV
8:00 and 10:10 Sanctuary and 9:05 Worship Center Service Today’s Message: The End of the Rope and Hope Chest Living
Today’s Scripture: Romans 5:1-5 & I Corinthians 13:13 NSRV
1 Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
13 And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
We Gather to Worship
Notes:
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have what we asked of him.
Woods Chapel Church offers several conveniences for our guests:
A nursery is available for children, up to 3 years old, to enjoy a safe, fun & loving
environment while the parents worship. Ushers in the back can help direct you to the
nursery at anytime during the services. A “Squirm & Giggle Room” is also available for
parents to sit with their children and has live sound/video feed of the service.
Please turn off cell phones during the service so as to not disturb those around you.
Restrooms are located in the Foyer Areas outside the Sanctuary & Worship Center. Ushers
or Hospitality can help guide you to the closest locations.
