This summer, the Children's Ministry
has a special opportunity to host and participate
in a Hope For Kids Workshop.

This workshop will equip participants
not only to teach kids the gospel in a clear and effective way,
but to also teach kids how to share their own faith
with their friends and family.

We are confident that this could be instrumental
in reaching families in our community.

Please pray for this Workshop,
and pass on the registration information
to anyone you feel may be interested.
This Workshop is open to everyone!

July 6th, the first Sunday of the month, we are extending a special invitation to grab your coffee and sit at the table
with Pastor Tom Mangham in the office at 9:15am.

He will be there to get to know you, and to answer your questions
about the vision of Westwood and how you can be part of it!

Join Us for Our Next Acts 2 Gathering – Wednesday, June 18

You're invited to our next Acts 2 Gathering on Wednesday, June 18—an evening centered around community, teaching, prayer, and sharing a meal together.

These gatherings are covered dish dinner events where we come together to enjoy fellowship, break bread, receive teaching, and pray—just as the early church did, as described in Acts 2:42.

Make plans to join us for this meaningful evening. We’d love to share it with you!

Our Acts 2 gatherings happen once a month and are based on Acts 2:42 that says the early believers in Jerusalem were devoted to 4 things. The apostles teaching, fellowship, breaking bread and prayer. This is exactly what goes on at Acts 2 nights. Acts 2 is a covered dish dinner, where we break bread and build our relationships, receive some teaching and experience a focused time of prayer. These are wildly popular at our church. If you have never attended done, I want to invite you to come out and be a part of this great event.

What could he better than hanging out with friends and eating TACOS! It would be worth attending if that was all we were doing, but Fun in the Sun is so much more! There will be Inflatables for the kids, face painting and crafts. And did we mention TACOS?!?
