Fall Kick-Off is Coming!

September 12, the weekend after Labor Day, is Westwood’s Kick-Off Sunday.
We will dedicate the newly-completed memory garden and entrance plaza in worship. It will also be our first day to use the newly-renovated classrooms, meeting spaces and music rooms in the Education Building. So much has been accomplished in the past few months – come and celebrate that You are Here.


On Sunday, September 19, Paul Jeffrey will be the guest preacher. Paul is one of Westwood’s covenant missionaries and a gifted photographer who writes about the work of the church around the world as senior correspondent for Response, the magazine of United Methodist Women. Paul also provides coverage of emergencies for Action by Churches Together (the ACT Alliance), a Geneva-based global alliance of churches responding to disasters. His work has taken him around the world and he will be sharing his experiences in Follow-Up and at a luncheon at noon that day.


World Communion Sunday on October 3 is a time to be in communion with Christians all over the world and to affirm the common vision to "press on toward the goal" of serving God in life-changing ministries. World Communion is observed on the first Sunday of October each year.

'Plan Be' is Back!

Sign-up today for the first "Plan Be" study of the Fall season!

Where Mercy Fails by Chris Herlinger and (our own) Paul Jeffrey is an incisive work of photo-journalism with trenchant essays that illumine the plight of displaced persons in the Darfur region of Sudan. The authors take readers inside the camps via personal narratives and through compelling images. Along the way the reader discovers a context for understanding the tragedy and how people of faith are responding.

This book study will run for three consecutive Sundays beginning September 12th at 11:15am. Costs: $20 for course materials. Participants are asked to be sure to attend every session.  If you would like to sign-up for this class please click here.

"Plan Be" classes are short discussion-format courses that facilitate interactive study for spiritual growth and personal maturity. Courses vary in length and cost based on topic and curriculum. Classes meet on Sunday mornings following the worship service.
