Celebrating Christmas Together!

We are excited to celebrate Christmas with you this Sunday. Please consider inviting someone. We baptized someone last Sunday who was first invited to our church by a friend. There are people in whom God is working, and an invitation from you may be what they need to come.

Save the image below to your device to share by text or social. We will have KiDS services for 6-weeks to kindergarten.

Please consider attending our 8:15 or 11:00am service to make room at our 9:30am service for those who are bringing guests. 
I hope to see you on site or join you online.

Big Give + Your Opportunity to Serve

, , ,

Give now through Dec 3!

On December 3, we will have our Big Give during all of our services at Westside. However, if it is more convenient, you may give online now!

As our church family prays about what God will lead them to give, Westside has committed to give away the first $50,000 of this weekend’s offering away to organizations in Leavenworth County that are reaching the lost, caring for the least, or serving the last. We are committed to building an Unshakeable Faith and releasing God’s Unshakeable Love.

Don’t just give… Serve!
Wrapping God’s Family around those at their point of pain

We have opportunities where you can serve in our community.

Get Ready for the 2nd Half of Unshakeable!

We are about to launch into the second half of our Unshakeable Generosity Initiative. Don’t miss this Sunday as we celebrate what God has done through our faithful giving and what we have yet to do.

Also, we have two requests of you:

  1. Wear your Unshakeable shirt on October 22, 2023.

  2. Share your Unshakeable Story with us.

We would like to hear how God has been growing you in your faith through your commitment to be Unshakeable. How is Unshakeable challenging you or encouraging you? How has God revealed Himself to you? What would you say to encourage someone else?

Our Journey to now

Our journey to build an Unshakeable Faith and Release Gods Unshakeable Love has taught us this:

Spiritual maturity is having a healthy relationship with God, myself, and others.
(Becoming Emotionally Healthy)

Jesus told stories that are keys to the kingdom of God.
(The Storyteller: Gospel of Luke)

Waste the haste: learn Jesus' unforced rhythms of life.
(Waste the Haste)

We receive and we advance the Unshakeable Kingdom of God’s righteousness, peace, and joy.
(Unshakeable Kingdom)

 Unshakeable Prayer:

Father, may I stand in Christ’s righteousness. May that give me the strength and courage to live rightly and do what is just. Give me a peace because I trust that You are always with me no matter what I face and may I be a peacemaker. Give me a joy that comes from knowing that my identity is in Jesus and make my joy complete as I honor You in everything I think, say, and do

 Waste the Haste Challenge:  Breathe

Read and pray scripture daily.

Sabbath with the Body of Christ weekly.

Have a meaningful face-to-face conversation
with a friend or group of friends weekly.

Easter Together + Your Generosity at Work

, ,

We have a vision to influence people to live on mission with us. Easter is a great opportunity to come to a service, serve at a service, and invite someone to a service. 

Help us make a local impact on hunger by bringing some non-perishable food with you when you come on Easter.

We are also supporting a full New Testament translation in the heart language of an unreached people group.
Thank you for your faithful generosity. It is making this possible!

We have a vision to influence 10,000 people to live on mission with us by 2030 and your faithful and sacrificial generosity will help place an audio bible in the hands of an unreached people group. Many will be impacted by this amazing opportunity.
