Each month, Woodridge UMC's Outreach Committee designates an organization, ministry, or mission (or two) to be the recipient of our monthly Outreach Offering. 

JULY 2026 

Abounding Ministries

Abounding Ministries facilitates multi-generational worship experiences in our Methodist Churches each weekend, helping congregations reach out with family-friendly worship using traditional source materials and the creative use of Music. Rev. Rich Rubietta helps train local church musicians, making disciples of Jesus Christ through dynamic worship, workshops, retreats and writing. He circuit rides throughout the NIC to strengthen the spiritual life, mission and evangelism of congregations. Jane Rubietta partners with Rich as an author and retreat leader focusing on women’s issues, spiritual formation and strengthening relationships between congregations and clergy families.  (From Mission Links: Living the Beatitudes 2026).
