SUNDAY, JULY 27, 2025
Last week, we were reminded of Woodcrest’s heart for reaching the outsider, welcoming the unchurched, and clearing a path for people to encounter Christ. This Sunday, we’ll continue in that spirit as Brock Bondurant unpacks the parable of the great dinner in Luke 14. What does it look like to live out an open invitation? What kind of message are we sending—and who are we sending it to? The gospel is good news for everyone—and God wants it all.


BAPTISM CELEBRATION: Sunday, September 7
Baptism is a powerful next step in your faith journey—an outward expression of an inward commitment to follow Jesus. Whether you're a child, teen, or adult, we invite you to reach out because we’d love to connect. Please use the appropriate link below to register by August 24.

MEET OUR ELDERS
This weekend, our Elders will be available to connect with you after the service in the Connection Center (just off the lobby). Stop by for a visit - they're here to listen, encourage, answer questions, or pray with you.


SPECIAL FAMILY MEETING: Tuesday, August 5
Please plan to attend a Woodcrest family meeting where our Elders will share the most current updates on the status of the sale and leaseback of the property. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 5, at 6:30 PM in the gym. Everyone will enter the building through the Pathway lobby because the main lobby will be serving as a polling place for the election on August 5.

There will be signs to remind you and direct you to the Pathway lobby doors. The handicap entrance next to the main lobby will be open for those who use the ramp for entry. No childcare will be provided; however, children are welcome to attend with their families. We hope to see you there to hear about the next steps in our mission to become a place where all people can find real-life faith, purpose, and hope.


OUTSIDE THE WALLS
Congratulations to Auggie White, one of our Woodcrest youth, and the volunteers who served with him for a can drop-off event at Woodcrest on July 12. They collected approximately 28,390 cans which generated a $609.50 donation to Welcome Home, an organization serving veterans experiencing homelessness. Auggie hopes to hold another can drop-off in August, but you can also bring your aluminum beverage cans to the Woodcrest Pathway lobby any weekend.
