EVENTS
Summer Lunch Program
The Summer Lunch Ministry provides sack lunches every weekday to children in three food-insecure areas in Lee's Summit from May 25 through August 21.
Team members gather at the Missions Building, 4201 NE Lakewood Way (just down the road from the church), at 10:00 AM to assemble the sandwiches and lunch sacks. At 10:45 AM, the lunches are taken out to the three locations, and the children come out and receive their lunches.
There are no age restrictions on this team other than being old enough to carry out very simple tasks like putting an item in each sack.
This is such a great way to teach your children about serving others in your community. It is a fun way for families to serve together.
You can sign up for as many or as few days as you would like, since you sign up for one day at a time. Try it once or commit to a weekly serving spot, but we promise you will love this, and spots can fill quickly, so grab them while you can!
Sign up HERE.
If you would like to donate items for the Summer Lunch Program, we are collecting the following items:
Single-serve packages of chips, Goldfish, and Skinny Pop
Individual fruit cups and/or applesauce
Creamy peanut butter (squeeze bottles are preferred)
Grape or strawberry jelly (squeeze bottles are preferred)
Monetary donations are appreciated for purchasing fresh vegetables and fruit
Back-to-School Drive
Help a local student start the school year with confidence!
During the month of July, you can sign up HERE or at a table outside the worship venues before and after services to sponsor a child through our 2026 Back-to-School Drive. You can also shop the Amazon store HERE for school supplies for our friends in Raytown.
Sponsors provide a backpack filled with school supplies for a student who could use a little extra support as they head back to school. These backpacks will be distributed to children in our partner schools within the Lee’s Summit School District, three schools in Raytown, and families living at Hillcrest Housing.
Your gift does more than provide supplies—it helps students begin the school year feeling prepared, encouraged, and ready to learn.
Important Dates
Sign up:Throughout July
Backpack drop-off deadline:August 2 by noon
Together, we can help local students start the school year equipped for success!

21st Annual Woods Chapel UMC Adoption Resource Foundation Golf Tournament
Monday, June 8, 2026
Lakewood Oaks Golf Course
Last year was one of the best years we have ever had. We were able to raise over $60,000 and awarded two $10,000, six $5,000 and two $2,000 grants to awesome families to help them with their adoptions. We couldn’t have done it without all the donors, sponsors, players, and volunteers- so thank you!
Our 2026 Golf Tournament teams are now FULL! Join the waitlist HERE.

The Give the Gift of Family Raffle is NOW open! All proceeds go to families receiving adoption grants throughout the year.
There are two boards of numbers 1-100, 5 winners per board, but we need your help selling them both out to help more families!
There will be some AMAZING raffle items to put raffle and bonus tickets towards. With your $100, you receive a ticket for the Give the Gift $1,000 drawing and one raffle ticket. Now this is where it gets fun! The more you buy, the more "bonus" raffle tickets you receive!!
