A new sermon series, Practices of the Christian Life, begins tomorrow! We invite you to join us at 9:30 am, 11:30 am, or 5 pm for a sermon on Psalm 95, “Worship.” Whether you’re new or returning, there’s a spot for you.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

“Humans are worshipping creatures, and even when they don’t consciously or even unconsciously worship any kind of god, they are all involved in the adoring pursuit of something greater than themselves. Worship transforms humans, all of us, all the time, since you become like what you worship.”
- N.T. Wright

Special update! We’re so grateful to everyone for making the final Family Night of the ministry year so impactful. Last month, our community came together for a packing party; we shared a meal and assembled 250 dignity bags to deliver to neighbors in need!

Thank you to Hope for New York and Project 12.31 for collaborating with us, and to our wonderful RWS families for their time, prayers, and help with supplies.

Have you met Dominik Faruolo? He recently joined the team at RWS as our Family Ministry Manager!

Dominik moved to New York City in 2016 to pursue a career in the arts. Just before graduating with a BFA in Musical Theatre, he sensed the Lord calling him into full-time vocational ministry. He is currently pursuing an M.A. in Biblical Studies at Liberty University’s Rawlings School of Divinity. He could not be more excited to serve our West Side Kids and West Side Families!

That’s a wrap on KCG for the ministry year! We can’t wait to see your smiling faces back in the fall! ⭐️

Last week, we cheered on our 5th graders as they got ready to join West Side Youth! Yesterday’s final KCG was a blast, packed with worship, games, a picture frame craft, pizza, and ice cream sundaes. What a sweet way to end the year. 🍨🍕📸
