Happy Mother’s Day to the mothers in our community, in all the forms that motherhood reveals itself. To those that nurture, protect, support and love others in countless ways, both seen and unseen. The holders of both joys and sorrows. The storytellers, and those who bear witness to others’ stories. For those who have their children near, and those who have them far.
To those who connect, nourish, and protect, we honour you today. Thank you. Thank you for following the call to love within your circumstances, on the beautiful days, and especially the ones where sharing your heart is the hardest thing to do.
Wear a name tag as a great opportunity to get to know each other within our church community. You can find the name tag sticker on your chair in the sanctuary to fill out with a pen, or come a bit earlier before service and utilize our Name Tag Decoration Station.
We’re Hiring!
As a church, we’re continuing to grow and invest in key areas of ministry – and we’re excited to share that we’re hiring for two part-time roles. If you (or someone you know) have a heart to serve and a passion for ministry, we’d love for you to take a look or help spread the word.

Serve Up Some Picnic Joy! 
We’re looking for some awesome humans to help make our June 14th Annual Church Picnic happen—whether that’s flipping burgers on the BBQ, setting up tables, serving food, welcoming people as they arrive, or helping us tidy up at the end.
It’s a fun, low-key way to jump in, meet people, and be part of the action—no experience or long-term commitment needed!
Sound like your kind of thing? Email Cindy at eventsteam@westheights.org and she’ll get you plugged in!
