What Does Fellowship Look Like in 2021?
Harris County is now back in Threat Level Three (Moderate Threat - Yellow) for the Covid 19 pandemic. At this level, residents are instructed to "stay vigilant unless fully vaccinated". Our contact tracing sheets show that most worshipers are fully vaccinated; accordingly, Woodforest Presbyterian Church is resuming many of our pre-pandemic activities. However, a new variant is circulating, so just as a precaution we are still wearing masks inside the church building. We also continue to practice hand washing and social distancing in order to protect each other.
On Sunday mornings, the coffee pot is back on! We gather for coffee and snacks outdoors in the courtyard at 11:00 am following the 10:00 am Sunday worship service.
Our annual fall CHURCH CELEBRATION marks our anniversary as a congregation together! To celebrate, we reach out to members of our extended church family, inviting them to a special Thanksgiving worship service. Afterwards, the entire congregation enjoys a catered dinner, and each new family adds a cross to our front hall. In 2021, it feels great to resume this get-together, especially since we will be honoring Rev. Cassandra Dahnke, who retired in 2020. See photos and videos here...
At Woodforest Presbyterian Church, we like eat together. Actually, we like eat together a lot! But for the safety of everyone, most communal meals have suspended for the duration of the Covid 19 pandemic. So what do we do instead? We prepared BBQ chicken suppers with beans, biscuits, and potato salad - and handed them out To Go!
We look forward to resuming the following activities:
DUTCH TREAT LUNCH follows Sunday School on the second Sunday of every month. Members gather for lunch at a variety of local restaurants.
On the last Sunday of every month, we enjoy a POT LUCK LUNCH at 12:00 noon following Sunday School.

On the Sunday following Vacation Bible School, the entire congregation relaxes with an old-fashioned BBQ PICNIC & SPLASH PARTY. We're talking barbeque with all the fixins! Weather permitting, the kids cool off outside with swim suits, SnoCones, splash toys, and a water slide!
Batter up! It's time for hush puppies, French fries, coleslaw, and the best fried fish in Houston! Each spring, the entire congregation pitches in to host the popular FISH FRY. Activities include a Bake Sale and a Silent Auction. Gospel bands provide live entertainment throughout the event.
