At Woodridge, we believe that parenting is a sacred practice of faith and believe that the church is called to love and care for all of God’s children. All children are wise, sacred, and full members of the body of Christ. At Woodridge Congregational Church, we partner with our families to create a supportive and brave community devoted to loving and serving our children, youth, and families. From our worship services, to our faith formation programming, to our mission outreach, we are intentional about child and family participation and inclusion. Together we explore the history, stories, and traditions of our timeless faith and participate in Jesus’ ministries of justice and peace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1d9d43a2a8834644c756b7/e201d633-1bb2-4164-888d-e07ecc150843/IMG_4962.jpeg Children & Youth Ministries - Sunday School Children gather for our Sunday School during the worship service. Children begin in the sanctuary with their families for worship and are invited to join Pastor Aidan for the children’s message. After the message, children go down to the Sunday school area for their lesson. This year we are using the Spirit & Truth curriculum. Lessons intentionally connect worship and faith formation by exploring scripture and stories in age-appropriate ways through questions and activities. Our Sunday School also often includes service-based learning projects drawn from the interests and passions of our youth. Our children recently collected art supplies to donate to the therapeutic art program at Bradley Hospital and learned about mental health awareness. To connect Sunday School with the intergenerational community, we celebrated a Mental Health Awareness Sunday in worship.

How to Support the Interfaith Food Pantry at Woodridge Woodridge Congregational Church volunteers on the second Saturday of each month to distribute food to pantry guests from 10 am to 12 pm. A team of five or so volunteers organize the food, greet and check-in guests, and distribute food. If you are interested in serving in this way, please email Pastor Aidan to be added to our volunteer email list. In addition to volunteering, the food donations from our congregation help to ensure that the food pantry is well stocked. Along with our tithes and offerings, we collect donations of canned and dry foods each Sunday. You may also drop off canned and dry foods anytime in the large donation box next to the Jackson Road Parish House entrance. Thank you for your generosity and continued support of the Interfaith Food Pantry! How to Access the Cranston Interfaith Food Pantry The Interfaith Food Ministry is open on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at the west end of Bissell Street at 95 Hathaway Center #61, Providence, RI 02907 in a historic mill building. To qualify to receive assistance from the Pantry you must live in Cranston or in Providence (South Elmwood area) with a zip code of 02907 and live south of Potters Ave. You will need to show proof of residence and a RI ID card or RI driver’s license.
