100% chance of rain.
100% chance of picnic.

Tomorrow’s All-Church Picnic is ON!

We’re simply moving the party indoors to the West Entry Hall at 11:45 AM.

Chicken on the Road will be parked right outside. We’ll also have a limited number of deli sandwiches, or bring your own picnic lunch.

And don’t forget a dessert to share.

Rain doesn’t get the last word on Kick-Off Sunday.

We’re going to worship together, begin Going Deeper together, and then pull up a chair and enjoy being together.

Rain outside. Joy inside.

See you tomorrow!

Tomorrow we begin a new ministry year together.

Worship: 9:00 + 10:30 AM
WestKids + Childcare: both services
WestYouth Small Groups: 10:30 AM
All-Church Picnic: 11:45 AM

Come ready to worship, reconnect, pray, and ask God to take us deeper.

Deep roots. Visible fruit.

WestYouth is back Friday night.

Our Friday WestYouth program restarts September 11 at 6:30 PM in the Great Room.

Then on Sunday, WestYouth Small Groups begin at 10:30 AM as part of Kick-Off Sunday.

A full weekend to reconnect and begin the year together.

Kick-Off Sunday does not end when the second service does.

Stay for our All-Church Picnic at 11:45 AM.

Bring your own lunch or purchase lunch from the Chicken on the Road food truck.

We’ll have a dunk tank, games, activities for the whole family, and plenty of time simply to be together.

Bring a dessert to share.

And bring someone with you. Visitors are welcome.

Who are you praying for?

Not generally.

By name.

Choose one person today. Bring them before God. Ask Him to make you attentive to what He may be doing in their life and to show you how you can love them faithfully.

Then keep praying.

Going Deeper can begin with one name.

Kick-Off Sunday is for the whole family.

WestKids + Childcare
Available at both 9:00 and 10:30 AM

WestYouth Small Groups
Meet at 10:30 AM on the 2nd and 4th Sundays, beginning September 13.

Then everyone is invited to stay for our All-Church Picnic at 11:45 AM.

September 13 is a great Sunday to come back, bring the family, and begin the new ministry year together.

Going Deeper is personal.

It was never meant to be private.

Formed in the Deep includes a Small Group Guide so we can talk honestly, pray for one another, notice where God is at work, and encourage one another through the forty days.

Already part of a group? Consider walking through it together.

Not in one? Invite a few people to join you.

It does not have to be complicated.

Formed in the Deep is available today.

This new 40-day devotional was created around our Going Deeper emphasis to help us draw nearer to God, become more like Christ, learn to pray more naturally with one another, and live our faith for the sake of others.

Each day includes Scripture, reflection, prayer, and three simple movements:

Draw Near.
Be Changed.
Live Sent.

Use it individually or walk through it with others. A complete Small Group Guide is included in the back.

Plan to begin around September 13, as we begin the new ministry year together.
