ANNOUNCEMENTS
We are off to a good start in our efforts to Support ECHO During June.
(See today’s “most needed” list insert.) ECHO has two big food drives a
year, one in November and one in May, and last month’s drive collected
21,857 pounds of food. That is a lot of food, but in its last fiscal year,
ECHO gave out an average of 17,500 pounds of food each month. To fill
the gaps between the big drives, ECHO depends on the community’s
individual and group donations. June is Westwood’s month to help out.
Please donate as many items as you can.
Impact Training continues with session #2 today, followed by final
session #3 on June 26, both at 4:30-5:45 p.m. Both sessions are mandatory
for students travelling to Wise, VA for Impact 2016. Excused absences
must be arranged in advance with Tom Kern.
Child Protection Training—All volunteers who work with children and
youth who DID NOT TRAIN in 2015 must attend one training session this
year. Check the list at the Welcome Center to find out whether you need to
take a CPT class this year. Training will be held on Tuesday, June 21 at
9:30 a.m.; and Sunday, June 26 at 9:45 a.m.
Children and families are invited for Popsicles on the Playground this
Tuesday, June 14 at 6:45 p.m. Join the fun!
Youth will meet at Westwood at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 24, for a day at
KingsFest at Kings Dominion. Bring a friend! The cost is $25 (for
admission to the park and the concert) plus money for food and snacks.
Sign up at the Welcome Center or at SNL! Payment and permission slips
must be turned in no later than Sunday, June 19.
The first of our Summer Book Conversations will be a discussion of the
book Half Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other
Things the Bible Doesn’t Say by Adam Hamilton, on Tuesday, June 21.
Join us from 7-8:30 p.m. in the Music Suite as we look at common
Christian-sounding clichés and compare them to the truth that is found in
the message and ministry of Jesus. Future book conversations will
include The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for
Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown on Tuesday,
July 19; and Life Lessons from a Bad Quaker: A Humble Stumble Toward
Simplicity and Grace by J. Brent Bill, on Tuesday, August 9. Books are
available for purchase ($10 each) at the Welcome Center.
Get ready to “Catch the Wave of God’s Amazing Love” at the Surf Shack!
Register online for Vacation Bible School, coming July 11-15. To
volunteer, please contact Pam Bryson, Randa Gray, Ginger Schiffner, or
Rebecca Larson.
Flower Dedication—The flowers in the sanctuary today are given to the
glory of God by Ed and Martha Newman to celebrate and bless the
marriage of their daughter Katharine to Glen McLeod.
