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.

UMC Women’s Group meetings

The women of Woodland meet on the second Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.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 7:30 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!

 

 

SPAGHETTI DINNER FUNDRAISER

The public is invited to Woodland's Spaghetti dinner fundraiser on the second Friday of the month. Our volunteers will serve from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. We always have lots of Woodland's home-made spaghetti with meat sauce, salad, garlic bread, coffee, iced tea, and cake. Our friendly servers will ensure a great dining experience for all. Come in through the main entrance on the rear of the building, off the main parking lot. Be sure to join us for a terrific, low-cost meal and help out the church at the same time. Adults meals are $6.00.

Children 12 and under are $3.00. We appreciate your support!

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
