About Us
AT EASE BY THE LAKE
Chaplain, Colonel Greg Woodbury (USAF, ret.)
and Kathy served in the Air Force Chaplaincy
for 31 years. They retired to beautiful Lake
Greenwood, South Carolina where God has
blessed them with a charming home in which
to host and bless active duty military couples
in need. With Greg’s extensive chaplaincy
credentials and Kathy’s Master of Social Work
degree, the Woodburys not only have the
education, skills, and technical knowledge
to help military couples, but also bring the
credibility of a family who know from personal
experience the challenges and stressors
of military life. They are uniquely qualified to
be the hosts of the amazing retreat called
AT EASE BY THE LAKE.
