Every two weeks a small group of men at Woodland Baptist Church meets on Saturday morning at 7:30am to study the Word of God through the expositional wisdom of Dr. John Stott and his excellent best seller, “Basic Christianity.”

This group will be a regular and recurring ministry of Woodland Baptist Church for the discipleship of men to equip them for works of service through the “knowledge of the Son of God.”

Please be in prayer for us as we continue on in this very important ministry and pray about your involvement in it, as I would like to involve Father/Son mentoring groups within the next year.

Friends of Woodland Baptist, please come and join us this Sunday night for a very special time in the life of our church as we ordain two men, Ben Hurt and Jonathan McCoy into the Deacon Ministry for Woodland Baptist Church.

We will begin the ordination service at 5:30pm, so that our “Meet Your Deacon” fellowship supper will not run too late into the evening.  All ordained men are invited to come and lay hands on our newly examined and commissioned servants.

1 Timothy 3:8-13 – Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. ⁹ They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. ¹⁰ And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. ¹¹  Their wives likewise mustbe dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. ¹² Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. ¹³ For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

Notes for Gal 5, 13-15, Freedom to Love

All leaders and staff involved in teaching ministries or that are interested in learning more about Sunday School are invited to come to this event this evening. Below are the outbreak sessions.

We will be taking the church van to Fairview and we will be leaving at 5:50pm, since the individual sessions start at 6:15pm.  Originally, I thought the classes started at 6:30pm, but they begin at 6:15pm, so we will need to get an earlier start.
