Together Women Rise Begins Oct 16

Beginning on Wednesday, Oct 16, Westside will host the group, Together Women Rise, every 3rd Wednesday in the Lighthouse from noon to 2:00 pm.

Together Women Rise is a powerful community of women and allies dedicated to achieving global gender equality. There are hundreds of local chapters across the U.S. where members learn about and advocate for gender equality issues, give grants to organizations that empower women and girls in low-income countries, and build community to forge meaningful connections that increase our strength and collective impact.

Read more about their program at https://togetherwomenrise.org/

Stewardship Month

Your stewardship team has something special planned for every Sunday in October!

This creative team always comes up with a theme, complete with props, a song, and a skit.

The climax is Extravagant Generosity Sunday, October 27. You will have the opportunity to turn in your pledge card for 2025 during the service. After worship, a chili cook-off will be judged by Sandy H and Fred C (last year’s winner!) More details will come on how to participate.

Make plans now to attend all month!
