Abilene church holds their final worship service after 60+ years

ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – After over 60 years of operation, an Abilene church is holding its final worship service.

Woodlawn Church of Christ, the church at North 10th Street, held its final masses on Saturday, May 24, and Sunday, May 25. The church’s building was donated to the Christian Service Center.

KTAB/KRBC spoke with volunteer Wayland Schroeder, who’s been there for 40 years, and he shared his thoughts on the church’s final days.

“I came to Woodlawn in 1982, 83, somewhere in there. So I’ve been here about 40 years… From that standpoint, we ran out of old people,” said Schroeder.

Schoreder added that the event was intended to celebrate and make it more of a reunion than anything.

“We will celebrate and make it a reunion-type thing, and bring people back to us and let them come and see what has happened and celebrate the years of God and all the things He’s done, not only at Woodlawn but in the missions and in the world that we’ve sent our ministries beyond,” Schroeder said.
