Woodland is a small church north of the Wallhaven area on Akron's west side. You
are invited to stop in any Sunday morning. Our doors are open, so bring your family,
or come in by yourself.
If you like to have fun while helping others, Woodland is
a church with opportunities to participate. You can help at Woodland's spaghetti
dinner fundraiser; assist with food drives for Open-M; assemble flood kits, health
kits, and school kits for UMCOR; or assist one of our groups with special events.
You could even help out with maintenance projects on the trustees weekly work night.
We strive to have a positive impact in our area, our church is home to a non-denominational
Pre-school that is open to all children. We sponsor neighborhood meetings and events
in our building, and furnish the public schools with a place for annual testing.
Mobile Meals uses our kitchen to prepare free meals for delivery.
Not long ago, we also worked to be of assistance to deployed military personnel by offering our main hall as a monthly place for their family members to meet.
Woodland's people enjoy fun, interesting, and uplifting services. Our monthly communion
service is open to everyone--even non-members. At Christmas and Easter, we celebrate
the holidays as the special Christian events that they truly are. Between musical
opportunities, Sunday school, youth group, our men's group, and women's groups, there
is something at Woodland for everyone.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
SOCK TREE DONATIONS FOR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
Woodland has set up a very special tree in the lobby. No, it's not a very early Christmas decoration; it's a sock tree for donations to Akron Children's Hospital. Members can hang new pairs of socks, including "special" socks, like those with cartoon chartacters or holiday themes, to be given to children at the hospital who may be victims of abuse or neglect. Each month, the tree's new "ornaments" will be removed and transferred to Akron Children's Hospital. Thanks to all to donate to help out some young people in unfortunate circumstances. All sizes are needed from infant to teens.
Services Open To the Public
Sunday at 9:00 A.M.

TWO BIBLE STUDY GROUPS
Two separate studies are held at Woodland each and every week. One meets on Thursdays at 11:30 a.m and another meets Sundays at 6:30 p.m. Both Bible Studies are open to all who may be interested. Thursday Bible study requires no advanced preparation or homework. It is an open discussion on what we hear as the scripture is read aloud. Light refreshments are provided during the group's meetings. Drop by the church and join us in the main hall (narthex) for either upcoming weekly get together!
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB ISTRIVE PROGRAM
Meeting on Wednesdays at 4:30, the purpose of the Boys and Girls Club of the Western Reserve is to inspire young people and promote academic success, good character, citizenship, and healthy lifestyles. In our after school program, we encourage club members through Power Hour Points homework incentives, the “A” Wall of Fame, and Power Hour Plus goals for graduation and careers. We have lots of fun activities, encourage creativity, and kids can learn valuable and fun skills in our Cooking Club program.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES
Our Children's Sunday School classes start on Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m. in the classrooms. They end at 10:00 a.m., so they conveniently end at about the same time as the regular Sunday morning service.
BUY GIFT CARDS, HELP SUPPORT WOODLAND CHURCH
Woodland Church sells gift cards for area restaurants, department stores, grocery stores, and specialty shops. You pay the face value for the cards, which is their redeemable value at the participating businesses, but Woodland Church will get a percentage of the proceeds from each card sold. Buy cards as gifts for friends and family or use them yourself on your next trip to the grocery store. In either case, you get gift cards and Woodland receives a donation from your purchase. If you buy anything from the many participating stores, do it with a gift card and help out the church at no cost to you. The Church office has the lists of participating businesses available. Turn your orders in with your payment to the office on Sunday mornings. Our goal is to deliver your cards to you on the following Sunday morning. Thanks for your support of Woodland
