Spotlight: A special man

RALEIGH, N.C. — “A lot of our students are sad this morning. We have encouraged them to talk about their feelings and try to do something constructive with them. Erin and Stephani decided to make cards!”

So said a recent note on the Facebook page of the Brooks Avenue Church of Christ’s special-needs ministry. The children were sad because of the sudden death of deacon Barry Woodhouse, 54.

Woodhouse and his wife, Paula — inspired by their daughter Melissa — started a ministry for children with special needs at the Brooks Avenue church. The ministry’s annual carnival serves hundreds of children.
