For November, our series Blessed will be looking at the Beatitudes in Matthew from Jesus' sermon on the mount. Jesus embodied these states of being and we can follow his example in our daily attitudes and actions.

Each month at Woodlands Central, we have a monthly offering where we raise funds to support our local mission partners.
This November, we are spotlighting our partnership with Foodbanks across our city. Foodbanks have the mission to see an end of food poverty in the UK through providing emergency food parcels as well as addressing the key issues that cause people to experience food poverty.
Join us this month through volunteering, donating food or money and praying for the work of the three foodbanks we work with across Bristol…
North Bristol & South Glos Foodbank
You can give financially at our offering or you are also welcome to give online.
Each month, you’re invited to pray for church and all that is happening with our monthly Prayer Calendar. You can view and download the October calendar below.

This October, we’re looking at the book of Acts which begins with Jesus ascending to heaven and a promise from angels that this same Jesus will return. The rest of the book depicts the Church carrying on the ministry of 'this same Jesus' in the same way that He had demonstrated the nature of God's Kingdom in his incarnate life.
We are in that great tradition of following and demonstrating that same Jesus, and our series in Acts is something of a blueprint for His Church to follow in our own time as we point to the one who is the same 'yesterday, today and forever.'

Each month at Woodlands Central, we have a monthly offering where we raise funds to support a mission partner.
This October, we want to highlight and support MentorMe, a project which enables church members to mentor people with criminal convictions, helping them achieve their goals by providing personal support, friendship and guidance.
You can give financially at our offering or you are also welcome to give online.
Could you offer hope to someone who’s been in prison?
An hour of your time a week could change someone’s life!
If you are prepared to listen, be patient and have your faith put to work, there are people who have a conviction who need someone like you!
Your support would empower someone to reach their goals, give them hope and help them to become all that they were meant to be.
The charity SixtyOne will give you all the training you need, their dedicated MentorMe team will support you throughout your mentoring relationship and will be on hand for advice and support.
You’ll also be invited to join in for celebration events and meals throughout the year!
Upcoming MentorMe training course dates:
Saturday, 14th October from 9.30am-3.30pm
Wednesday, 18th October from 7pm-9pm
Saturday, 28th October from 9.30am-3.30pm
Wednesday, 1st November from 7pm- 9pm
Wednesday, 8th November from 7pm-9pm
To book a place, please email info@sixty-one.org or call 0117 403 7905.
If you can’t make these training dates, please still get in touch so that we can look at alternative dates …
Here’s what some of MentorMe trainees have said:
“Friendly, believed in all of us. You were very skilled in what you do and could see you were passionate and it's not just a job.”
“Engaging trainers…the activities were well designed, appropriate and engaging… the trainers did an excellent job in teaching.”

17th September 2023
Listen to the session below:
Our annual Vision Evening is a chance for the whole Woodlands Church Family to gather together and get fired up about God's Vision for our families, friends and communities.
Tuesday, 10 October 2023
7.45pm - 9.30pm
Woodlands Central
Let’s all come together to imagine something bigger, to keep up with God's heart for more, to keep up with God's heart for our city. A vision like that needs all of us, so please book it in your diaries and make sure that you, your home group or pastorate can make the evening.
There will be worship, prayer and thoughts shared from our senior leaders and wider team, including some time to hear about how we’re implementing some of the key recommendations made in our strategic review and how you can be part of it all!
We're excited and hope you are too!
See you there.
This September, our preaching series called 'Both And' will help us set vision for the term ahead. The series acknowledges we have diversity and nuance in much of what we think about God, theology and Church practice…and that actually this is a strength of our community, not a weakness.
Come on the journey with us either in person or on the weekly livestream.
Woodlands Church, Belgrave Road, Bristol BS8 2AA
