The Renew event is a new event being hosted by the Wichita East and West Districts for all youth in the Wichita area. It will include some amazing worship; a concert; several intensive, high energy games; and a chance to reconnect with friends from camp. We look forward to joining with other youth from the area for this great event on January 4 at Calvary UMC. Our youth will meet here at Woodlawn at 8:30 in the morning and will return by 8:30 in the evening. Cost for the event is $40. Please register with Bryce or online at https://woodlawnumc.elexiochms.com/external/form/866d7910-01d5-475e-a2f9-c9291d42b247.

Open Door Drop-In Center Lunch
Woodlawn volunteers will serve lunch at Open Door on Thursday, December 26. The sign-up sheet for donating food items and for signing up to help prepare and/or serve is on the table outside the church office. The menu will be ham, macaroni and cheese, salad, roll, and a Little Debbie Christmas cake (which have been provided). Due to the Christmas holiday, we would appreciate it if you could drop your donations off at church by Monday, December 23. We hope you will consider helping with this worthwhile mission. Thank you!

Overseas Care Packages
We'll be packing overseas care packages on Wednesday, January 8 (a day earlier than usual) at 10AM in Room 11E. We'll be packing 15 boxes in January. We have a good supply of non-baked items for this mailing, but we'd appreciate any baked goods that you might be able to provide. As always, thank you for your support of this mission!

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
