BAPTISMS & BBQ!
Sunday, August 8
On Sunday, August 8, the Woodhaven family will have an opportunity to experience the joy of baptizing three new additions to the church family. One of these baptisms will take place in the sanctuary as part of our Sunday morning worship service. The other two baptisms will take place in the Cape Fear River at the Barker Retreat (331 Jackson Road, Fuquay-Varina). Immediately following the Sunday morning worship service, all who wish to participate in the baptismal service at the river are invited to make their way to the Barker Retreat. While we’re at the Barker Retreat, the Barkers have generously offered to host a fellowship time following the baptismal service featuring a free barbeque meal with all the fixings.

Women’s Retreat Plans are Underway!
January 20-23
North Topsail Beach
We need to begin immediate registration so that we will have a good idea how many of you will be going so we will know the exact price per person. Our goal is to keep it under $200 each and of course, the more that go, the less it will cost each of us.
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER ON REALM
Once you have registered on Realm for the event, please go into your REALM account and pay the registration fee. Make sure to choose the category “Women’s Retreat” when you pay. The registration cost is $75 and the balance will be decided once we get an idea of how many will be attending. For example: if 20 ladies attend, the cost will be around $175 total.
If you have any questions at all, please contact Terri Stratton at: ncterri1@gmail.com.
BOOK EXCHANGEWe have a Girl Scout Silver Project in progress here at Woodhaven. They have decided to create a book drop for kids to stop by and exchange books. It is on the honor system and you can take one/leave one. Right now it has been stocked with some children’s books and you can find the “book barn” at the corner of the Preschool Playground.
