Christmas At Westheights
We sent out a letter last week about what the Christmas Season will look like at Westheights this year. If you missed it, you can read it here. Some focus points:
Advent Devotionals – The BIC has once again produced an excellent Advent Devotional for us. You can access a digital or printable version of the Advent Devotional by clicking here. There will be a limited supply of hardcopy versions available at the welcome table and resource shelf.
Practicing Generosity – At this time of year, many of us are looking to give gifts that make a difference in the lives of those in need. As a church we have special connections to both Mennonite Central Committee and BIC Global and we are invited to check out the MCC Giving Guide or the BIC Global website for opportunities to help people around the world this Christmas.
Anniversary Offering Update
Thank you for your generous hearts! Because of you, we were able to raise $500 for House of Friendship’s Community Food Hamper Program and $106 for the Food Bank of Waterloo Region. Your support helps provide food and hope to neighbors in our community who need it most.
Seeking Volunteers:
We have a volunteer gap that we are hoping to fill – if you’re wanting more information, please connect with Sarah Brnjas.
Livestream Tech Roles
Serve once every 4–6 weeks by running cameras for our Westheights @home livestream. Arrive at 8:45am for setup, rehearsal and service—if you can play an arcade or video game, you can learn to do this! Training provided.
How to Know of Service Cancellation
During the winter months, we may have need to cancel our Sunday morning worship service (or special services) due to severe weather. Check out our Service Cancellation page for the different ways we communicate this on a Sunday morning.
