Good morning Westheights,

Here’s the announcements for this week! 

Riddle of the Week 

I am the outstretched fingers that seize and hold the wind. Wisdom flows from me in other hands. Upon me are sweet dreams dreamt. My merest touch brings laughter. What am I?

Reply back with your guesses, but for those who can wait, the answer will be in next week’s newsletter! Here’s some of our weekly announcements

Westheights Weekly Email Newsletter Changes A-Coming

As we look at our online communication processes as a church, we’re working on improving our newsletter and what shows up in your email inbox.

Starting July 3rd, these emails will be merged into one Westheights Newsletter. Sundays at 6am, you can look forward to one email that will share our Westheights Youtube Channel Link, Latest News, Special Events, etc. This will not affect the Students & Kids Ministry newsletters. 

If you have any questions, feel free to email Sarah.

We had such an awesome picnic on Sunday, thank you to everyone who came! You can read the recap here.

Father’s Day

This Sunday is Father’s Day! If you haven’t already started, think of this as your reminder to start thinking about ways to celebrate the father and father figures in your life!
