UMCOR Sunday
This Sunday, Mar 26, we will observe UMCOR Sunday, one of the UMC’s Special Giving Sundays.
UMCOR, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, brings aid to communities and individuals whose lives have been overturned by fires, wars, and other disasters. UMCOR also works globally to address the root causes of hunger, poverty, and illnesses such as malaria.
Your donation this Sunday will underwrite UMCOR’s ‘cost of doing business,’ allowing UMCOR to keep the promise that 100% of any gift to a specific UMCOR project will go towards that project.
You may write a check to Westside (indicate UMCOR), give through our website, or give online directly to UMCOR. Thank you for your generosity!
Big Thanks!
Thank you to all who helped make the Lighthouse shine on Sunday! Great teamwork led to great results!
The Lighthouse Keepers team will be meeting soon. Please let Stephanie R or the office know if you would like to help out occasionally, on your schedule, to maintain the brilliance.
Lighthouse Spring Cleaning
Please join us after worship this Sunday, March 19, to do a thorough cleaning of the Lighthouse.
This building is used by several outside groups, so it could use a little TLC. The usage fees provide a small but steady income for the church.
There will be a task list posted. Supplies will be provided but feel free to bring your rubber gloves and/or anything else that you like to clean with.
Thank you for your help!
