Woodlawn’s Stewardship
Non-Campaign!
Did you receive a bright yellow envelope from the church in the mail? Open it up right away! It contains the only Stewardship mailing you will receive this year. Inside is a form to make or renew your commitment to the church in the coming year. Please consider completing it and returning it to the church office within the week! Those who currently give will also find, inside, their giving statement through the month of October.

Because of our debt reduction campaign held earlier this year, our church leadership decided that Woodlawn would not host an all-out Fall Stewardship Drive as we have done in the past. However, we do need to determine what the church’s expected income might be in 2020.
Thank you for your help and for your continued giving to Woodlawn’s ministry and mission!

Winterfest is Almost Here!
This is the 21st year of our popular craft show! You may know that this started as a small show that has grown to become a Derby holiday staple with over 100 booths. But you may not be aware that Winterfest contributes about $7000 each year directly to mission programs the church supports.
However, we cannot continue this successful event without your help. There are many ways to support this event even if you aren’t into craft shows!
- Groups and individuals can donate a basket or set of items for the silent auction. Anything new is accepted. (All items must be dropped off in the church office by Friday, December 6th at noon.)
- Volunteers are needed to make items for the bake sale, greet customers, work in the kitchen, as well as assist in setup and cleanup. Sign-up sheets are in the foyer.
- We also invite you to come check out all of the excellent vendors and crafters at the show on Saturday, December 8th from 9:00-3:00. You’re sure to find gifts perfect for anyone on your list. In addition, grab breakfast or lunch at Diana’s Diner, purchase homemade goodies from the bake sale, listen to live music in the sanctuary or place a bid in the silent auction room. It really is amazing to see how the church is transformed for a day and then put back into place for church on Sunday morning.

Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministers are congregation members trained by Stephen Leaders to offer high-quality, one-to-one Christian care to people going through tough times. A Stephen Minister usually provides care to one person at a time, meeting with that person once a week for about an hour. Twice a month, Stephen Ministers gather with their Stephen Leaders for supervision and continuing education.
If you are hurting, please call for a Stephen Minister to help you in your difficult time. Sharyon Miller 316-651-7105, Donna Overmiller 316-207-5614

A Note From Communications
As we enter the holiday season, there is always A LOT going on around Woodlawn and in our community! We advertise with in-service announcements, scrolling announcements on the TVs during Sunday services and during WOW, the Sunday bulletin, our weekly newsletter, Facebook, as well as neatly hung advertisements in our bathroom stalls. There is also a new "Opportunities to be the Heart, Hands, and Feet" board located in the foyer. If you would like an event to be advertised, contact Jenah Moody at communicate@woodlawnumc.net.
