Church Council
Names Planning & Building Committee Tim Bolden has been named as the chairperson for the new Planning and Building Committee which will lead Westwood to a new and exciting phase of future development. Tim comes to this new responsibility with a strong background of experience. He led the church in the planning and building of our first construction on High House Road. He also served on the Planning and Building Committee of our present facility. With Tim’s input, the Church Council named the following people to serve on the new Planning and Building Committee: Ray Beale, Charlie Johnson, Dubba Lucas, Rob McLain, Betty Rabb, and Glynda Rich. Other names and subcommittees may be added as needed.
The challenge of this new committee will require input from the church body, committees and church staff. They will seek the advice and counsel of experts in many areas of church life and development and at appropriate times make recommendations to the church family. All financial needs are subject to the approval of the church body. Please keep this committee and the exciting future of Westwood in your prayers. It is imperative that we follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit and join God in the work that He is doing.

| Inreach Ministry Expanding The Westwood Inreach Ministry is changing
to meet expanded needs of our church family. More information will
soon be shared with you during Sunday School and in the Worship Service
about this expanded ministry. In order to be more effective in ministering
to our Westwood Church Family, the Inreach Ministry needs volunteers
to help in regularly phoning our fellow members who need encouragement.
There will be a sign-up period in the coming weeks. We ask that you
prayerfully consider how God might have you serve in this ministry.
Although you may have signed-up previously, please consider signing-up
again during this sign-up period. In the meantime, if you have questions
or need further information, please contact Sarah Cooke.

We're Searching For Volunteers Please call the church office if you would like to volunteer to straighten the sanctuary every week or on a rotating basis. This would include straightening the hymnals and Bibles, picking up any papers and replenishing the offering envelopes. Please call if you are interested in this very important job. |
| Friday, October 13 Greg Buchanan is a world-class harpist
whose enthusiastic jazz-style of playing set him in a category all
by himself, and his heart felt sensitivity when playing the hymns
leaves one in absolute awe. To hear Greg play is a deep spiritual
experience that ushers the listener into the very presence of God.
Greg is not just a musician; he is a true artist! |
