Join us in celebrating Westend’s 30th Anniversary with great food, games, and fellowship!  Please join us TODAY at Millennium Park (Pavilion B) after the service to celebrate Westend’s 30th Anniversary!  A lunch of pulled pork, sides and drinks will be provided.  There is limited seating available so we are asking families to bring camping chairs and/or blankets for additional seating.

There is no Sunday school classes this week due to the 30th Anniversary Celebration, they will resume next week!

Ladies, are you ready to connect with other women but it is hard to commit to a weekly Bible study? Join us for a time to connect with God and each other. No commitment or materials needed, just come ready to worship, study and be together.  We will meet the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of the month starting September 29th!
