We
care for others in the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is head of our
church. Peter said of him: "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy
Spirit and power...He went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed." (Acts
10:38)
The following are many of the ministries of care at our church:
Stephen Ministry
“Love one another just as I have loved you.” John 13:34
Hurting? Struggling? Discouraged? Stressed? Confused? Broken? Stephen Ministers are ready to care. Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives. Training is underway for Stephen Ministry volunteers at Woodbury Lutheran. More info here...

Eager Hands Quilters – a Ministry to the Homeless
Adult and children’s quilts, mittens, scarves and hats are made and donated to the area homeless through the Salvation Army. Baby quilts, hats and mittens are donated to New Life. Robin’s Nest Orphanage in Jamaca is also a recipient of the baby quilts.
We need more “eager hands” to help with this ministry which meets on Tuesday mornings, 9:00 to 12:00. Some ladies also work at home. Call either Delores or Lavonne for more information.

Lighthouses of Prayer
You can be a light for the Lord in your family, neighborhood, and workplace in three ways: 1) Prayer, for peace and the knowledge of God. 2) Caring acts of kindness as the Holy Spirit leads you. 3) Sharing Jesus with others in a natural way.
