Some of our congregation are gluten-sensitive, and we have always provided them with separate gluten-free communion wafers. But recently, we asked ourselves... why should those worshipers be singled out? The answer is - they shouldn't. So we have decided to serve ALL worshipers with gluten-free bread, signifying both our unity in Christ and our love for our neighbors!

In response to the worsening Covid 19 surge, the Session of Woodforest Presbyterian Church voted to resume wearing masks inside the church building. Our contact-tracing records show that almost all worship attendees are fully vaccinated. But "break through" cases are increasingly common, and we decided that the "Love Thy Neighbor" thing means taking this extra step to keep each other healthy. Stay safe, people!
