The Police Department will be opening a Warming Center at the West Community-Senior Center this weekend in response to the possible need due to the extreme winter weather that will impact most of Texas.
The West Community Center is located at 200 Tokio Road in West (0.3 miles east of IH-35 on Tokio Road). At this time freezing temperatures are expected to start sometime Saturday and will probably run thru Tuesday morning. The Center will be open on Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 7am to Midnight - with the option to extend the hours and stay open if individuals are using the facilities.
Additionally, if someone needs the Center after midnight - They will be able to contact a West Police Officer on duty who can re-open the Center and call an off-duty officer in to keep it open as needed.
We will try to have coffee/snacks/hot-chocolate and water on site for anyone who needs it or wants to come by and talk to an officer (We would welcome any friendly visits since past experience indicates that the officer could be the only person at the center) However, I fully believe - as stated by others on Facebook and my Cub Scout Den-Leader - It is better to have it and not need it - than need it and not have it!
Thank you, West Community, for all for your support!

Thank you WestFest!
Because of your generous support of the West Area Ministerial Alliance we will be able to help a lot of folks in need. We will also be able to cover all of our administrative costs for the year, so when anyone else makes a donation, they know all of their money is going straight to our benevolence ministry.

On Sunday, November 23 at 6:00 PM, something beautiful will happen in our community, something bigger than any one church. We are bringing back the tradition of our Community Thanksgiving Service.

People from different churches throughout our community will gather together to worship, pray, and give thanks as one family of believers. Our local churches have different backgrounds, different worship styles, and different traditions, but we serve one Lord. In a world that often pulls people apart, this night will bring us together.

Come join us as we celebrate God’s goodness, give thanks for His blessings, and show our community what it looks like when the people of God stand united in worship.

We will meet at West Brethren Church
Sunday, Nov. 23 • 6:00 PM

Friends, the ministerial alliance is doing fine financially, but we are headed into a season that may be a challenge. Not only are the cold months and the holidays coming, but this year we also have many who are concerned about the government shut-down and the hold on SNAP benefits. If you choose to make a tax deductible donation to help folks in the West area, please send it to P.O. Box 142, West, TX 76691.

There’s something powerful about gratitude — especially when we express it together.

This year, all our local churches are coming together for a special Community Thanksgiving Service — one night to worship side by side, give thanks for God’s blessings, and celebrate the unity that binds our community together.

Come lift your voice in praise, share the joy of fellowship, and let’s thank God for His faithfulness in every season.

📅 Date: Thanksgiving Sunday -- Nov. 23
🏠 Location: West Brethren Church
🕕 Time: 6:00 p.m.
Bring your family, friends, and neighbors — because this Thanksgiving, we give thanks together!
