  Got a minute for a Woodland Memory?



Link to Woodland Christian Church
Woodland Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Lexington, Kentucky.
"Woodland Memories" is the name I gave to a series of brief historical snippets, which I shared with the congregation during Sunday morning announcements from 2013 to 2016. This website is an effort to make an edited version of that information more readily available to members and friends of the congregation, while providing a vehicle for folks to share their own memories of our church family.

Let's keep the memory and the ministry alive.

Richard E. Day, Ed. D.
WCC Historian (2013-2016)
