Speaking from experience I have volunteered for almost an entire year and I found that they have the desired individuals and it was clear that my son is not welcomed but just there as a body throughout his middle and partial high school year, he was never further away from god and people until he found safety comfort and LOVE at a real church, not one that only cares about numbers, money and their own insecure and deeply flawed views of a child or god. Zero Stars... love is love thank you very much ;)

We went to the 4 o'clock service tonight on Saturday. Our vehicle recently broke down and we…read morehaven't had a way to make it to church. We were able to borrow a vehicle and tonight happened to be Baptism night. The new campus Pastor for Woodbury is a very personable guy. He was fun, energetic, and engaged with us perfectly. It was very natural for him and you can tell he is sincere. The worship band is amazing, and I love that they also play popular songs that are on Christian radio. The worship music during the baptism was refreshing and all the songs were amazing. Even if it wasn't planned for someone to get baptized and they wanted to tonight, they offered clothes, shoes, make up, hair dyers, etc for those who weren't prepared. It was very accommodating. After about an hour of baptisms, people started getting up to leave and there was a small crowd of us left. The band was playing worship songs that made you sing your lungs out and it was like being at a concert. The Holy Spirit was SO strong tonight, I teared up many times. There was a total of 30ish people left for the last few to get baptized and it was like Jesus was putting a show on for us tonight. His presence was felt and it was a beautiful night. This was truly one of my best experiences at eagle Brook. We had been craving to worship, praying to be able to worship tonight and we got a whole hour and some to worship him. Thank you for an unforgettable night. The band did absolutely amazing.

Even though…read moreit's considered a "mega parish" in terms of overall number of families and members, some of our very closest friends are the good people we've gotten to know through St. Ambrose over the past decade. As a cantor and active music minister, I take offense to John's gimmicky review of the efforts of the music ministers and liturgical staff. Not caring for the music selection or style is something that you can easily change by finding a parish that caters to the type of music you're looking for; there are quite literally dozen of choices within a 10-15 mile radius of Woodbury offering a diverse opportunity to find what it is you're looking for. But to make personal attacks on the efforts of those of us who volunteer (i.e. - unpaid ministers of music) is in poor taste. I've read many of this reviewer's other reviews and I gather he's attempting to be humorous. My response: those who can, do. Those who cannot, critique those who can. St. Ambrose is a contemporary Catholic community that has deep roots in the Woodbury (and beyond) area, making the teaching of the faith a relevant ministry to the vibrant student body of the attached pre K-8 education center, the families, and all who pass through the doors. As we always say, "All Are Welcome"!
