Pastor’s Notes:

What a great time we had at

our Church Family Picnic! We

missed some of you but the rest

of us had an awesome time!

The opportunity to spend time with our family

was priceless! We hope this will be annual event so

please make plans to join with us next year. Special

thanks to all who were involved in preparing the land or

doing anything else. You guys are awesome! I’ll have

some pictures in the next bulletin!

We also want to congratulate our graduates! We are so

proud of Seth Brown, Lucas Lundberg, Katie Porter, McKailley Smith, Samatha Vassey, Travis

Waddell, Carrie Wallace. We believe the future is bright for them and trusting for God’s richest

blessings on them as they move forward in school and the workforce! We also had some other

college graduates, but we do not have their information. We are extremely proud of ALL OF

YOU!

We are always in need to some volunteers to help us in areas of ministry. Now every

“ministry” is not a classroom or passing the offering plate. Yet each area is important and

provides such a help in making our church appealing to the people who walk through our doors.

If you want to help your church, you want a place to service and you are dependable and faithful,

please see Bro. Terry ASAP.

There will be an opportunity for Church Membership the last Sunday of this month. If you

have been attending our church and would like to make Woodruff Church of God your home or

if you just want some information about us, please meet Pastor Terry Sunday morning, May 25

at 9:30 AM. Come to the CLC and come through the door marked “STAFF”. The room straight

in front of you is where we will meet. On behalf of Lisa and myself, our staff and the rest of our

congregation, WELCOME!!!!!!!

The Annual Church of God Camp Meeting, held at the Mauldin Camp Ground, is quickly

approaching. This is the 100th

year of the Church of God in SC. There is a flyer attached so that

you can see the speakers and know the schedule of services. We always have a good number of

Woodruff folks who attend these meetings. Make your plans to join in on these services. Our

own choir will be part of a mass choir on Tuesday night, June 10th

.
