THANK YOU!
The Christian Education Ministry Committee wishes to THANK THE WESTEND CONGREGATION for your faithful giving, for THE KIDS, between April and November. To date, God has blessed the giving for Christian education with $63,249 toward our goal of $71,770. The total given includes collections, fund-raising and individual giving. The ministry uses the giving to support 18 families and 34 students attending 6 different Christian schools. We invite you to pray for this ministry and continue to help, as you are able. Our $71,770 goal needs to be completed by March 2021. The $8,600 needed to meet our goal between December and March can be done–GOD HELPING US!
