Woods Chapel Church offers several conveniences for our guests:
• A nursery is available for children, up to 3 years old, to enjoy a safe, fun & loving environment
while the parents worship. Ushers in the back can help direct you to the nursery at any time
during the services. A “Squirm & Giggle Room” is available at our Lee’s Summit Campus for
parents to sit with their children, and has live sound/video feed of the service.
• Please turn off cell phones during the service so as to not disturb those around you.
• Restrooms are located in the Foyer Areas outside the Sanctuary & Worship Center at our
Lee’s Summit Campus. Restrooms for the Raytown Campus are located just down the
hallway on the right from the Sanctuary. Ushers or Hospitality can help guide you to the
closest locations.
We Gather to Worship
Welcome! We are glad you are in worship with us!
It is our hope that the presence of God is made real to you today.
Sermon Series: Christmas Gifts
Today’s Message: Everyone Welcome
Today’s Scripture: Hebrews 13:1-2 NIV and Matthew 25:35-36 NIV
Hebrews 13:1-2 NIV
1
Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.
2
Do not forget to show hospitality to
strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
Matthew 25:35-36 NIV
35
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to
drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
36
I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick
and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
