Westsiders, we’re planning a family weekend at Camp Magruder in Rockaway Beach. It will be Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning.

Will it be Sep 6-7 or Sep 27-28? The initial tally from last Sunday had a difference of only one vote! If you haven’t voted yet, be sure to do so this Sunday or if you’re out of town, you may email the church office at office@westsidejourney.org.

On the ballot, you may also indicate if you will need a ride or if you will have extra seats available to offer rides.

Funds have already been set aside to cover most of the expenses. The final cost to you will be available soon (and financial assistance will be available).

See you at camp!

Special Offering This Sunday

Join us this Sunday, Aug 3, when Josh Hobson will be our guest speaker. He has preached for us in the past before going to Portugal to open the Lado a Lado retreat center.

Lado a Lado’s mission is to walk alongside Christian workers with authenticity and compassion, providing a safe space with opportunities for rest, growth, care in community, and reconnection with God.

Our special offering this Sunday will go to the Lado a Lado ministry.

Prayer Box

Be sure to check out the new community Prayer Box and Little Library on campus.

It offers prayer request cards, in several languages, as well as books.

When a prayer request is received, prayers will be offered up by one or more of the congregations using the building.

Thanks to all the people who made this vision become a reality!
