October 26, 2016
is an exciting day at Woodlawn
United Methodist Church  when Covenant Care, previously Covenant Hospice, will provide a one day Volunteer training. This is an important opportunity to equip the caring members of this church, and those from this local community, to make a real difference in the life of a patient and family. The investment of one day can open the door to many opportunities to bring joy, comfort, peace, laughter, and even the quiet presence of someone to be with a patient and family when they may have no one else to share that time.
Volunteering just a few hours a week or a few hours a month in patients' homes, assisted living facilities, or nursing homes makes such a difference for those in need. God prepares our hearts and equips us to serve and no special background is needed - just a desire to serve others. Perhaps this is the opportunity you have been looking for to minister in your local community.
You can care for Covenant patients and their family members by making visits or telephone calls, providing spiritual support, giving practical help or a short break for a caregiver. Some provide a caring presence for hospice patients who are nearing death to ensure that no one dies alone. There are so many ways that we can be "his hands and feet" to our neighbors. You can learn more through the training and find out what areas you may desire to serve.
Covenant Care Volunteer Training
Wednesday, October 26th from 9:00am- 5:00pm

WE CARE
The primary source of funding for this ministry is derived from the proceeds placed at the Alter on Communion Sunday. Each month the amount received determines the level of assistance we can provide to those in need. This is becoming a greater challenge due to the ever increasing number of clients seeking help. In addition to monetary donations we can use canned fruit, mayonnaise, cereal, dried beans, BeefaRoni, and #3, 4, 5 diapers for the month of October.
We Care is open on...
Tuesdays 1:00-3:00pm
Wednesdays 9:30-11:30am
Thursdays 9:30-11:30am
You can reach
We Care at (850)
234-3196 ext 313.

WE CARE BAGS
The We Care busy season is fast approaching, which means we are in need of fabric tote bags. If you'd like to help sew bags, please pick up pre-cut fabric and directions from the top shelf of the Prayer Room storage cabinet. Finished bags should be placed in the blue We Care food tote in the Lobby at the main campus. If you have questions, please e-mail Nikki at

COLUMBARIUM -
WOODLAWN MEMORIAL GARDEN
A Sacred Place Where People Are Remembered
Planning The Final Trip Home...What is a Columbarium?
A Columbarium is a final resting place, a meaningful place where members and their families can proceed directly from a memorial service to place a loved one at rest at their church home. A peaceful place for those still present can come and remember.
Why is a Columbarium important to me?
A Columbarium provides peace of mind, being prepared means your loved ones won't have the burden of trying to manage your wishes and the cost that goes with it. A Columbarium is accessible and comforting. Woodlawn United Methodist Church provides the only Columbarium on Panama City Beach.
Is a Columbarium Cost Effective?
The price range for a traditional plot & burial averages $6,500 (including cost of casket, vault & plot; additional costs may be involved). The cost of a Columbarium niche is $1,000, which can accommodate two urns. A convenient six-month payment plan option is available. Memorial care is managed by the church.
..
.and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:8
For further information on the Columbarium or understanding the scripture as it relates to your final resting place, visit our website at
Columbarium or call the Church office at (850)234-3196.
