What’s Happening at Woodridge

 

The Annual Stamp Farm Plant Sale will be held on Sun., May 19 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.  They are located at 219 Comstock Parkway, and offer a wide selection of annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs, and hanging baskets.  Be sure to mention “Woodridge Church” when you pay so that a portion of the proceeds will go to Woodridge Church.  If you need more information, feel free to ask Deb Therrien

We are still looking for people to help with the Livestream Team!  If you are interested in sitting in the balcony during worship once a month and would like to learn how to operate the camera and computer and generate our livestream of the worship service, please contact Bob Ryan (bobby.ryan@verizon.net or see him at church) or Jay Bombardier (firebombjr@gmail.com or see him at church).  Thank you very much!

Woodridge Church Yard Sale Will be held on Saturday, June 1 from 8 AM – 2 PM. Clean out your closets, basements and attics! Bring in your items for the yard sale and leave them on the stage in Fellowship Hall or in the janitor’s room (basement). Large items can be picked up. Volunteers are needed to help during the yard sale. Please call Grant Southard (822-0799) or Rick Therrien (463-6343) with any questions. 

Food Pantry volunteering – Second Saturday mornings – contact the church office if you would like to help out

An outdoor collection box for the Cranston Interfaith Food Pantry is located at the outside entrance at 30 Jackson Road, Cranston – bring your donations anytime

 

Thursday afternoon Grief Support Group open to the public

This gathering is for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. 

The group meets 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. in the Woodridge Conference Room. Please use the Jackson Road entrance to the upper level of the Parish House building. 

For many people, a grief support group makes the process a little easier by building connections with others who are also grieving. A grief support group can have a positive impact on mental health. Studies show that these groups help to reduce depressive symptoms in people who have lost a loved one.

The group is facilitated by Rev. Burton Bagby-Grose, M.Div., Bereavement and Volunteer Coordinator for the VNA of Care New England.
