It's Vacation Bible School week at Westwood! VBS is always a great opportunity to share the love of Christ with children. There is such excitement and enthusiasm as children, youth, and adults gather to celebrate this special week. I enjoy watching the interactions between the ages and find there a glimpse of the best of who we are as a church. When we work together, crossing lines that sometimes divide us, good things happen and God is honored. That's true of more than just VBS. Together, we share gifts and talents that enrich our fellowship. Together, we share resources that empower our efforts. Together, we communicate to the community and world around us the blessing of relationship with the risen Christ. Together, we make a difference for the kingdom!

This will be a great week at Westwood. Seeds will be planted that will bring future growth, new relationships will be established that will have an impact for years to come, and the joy of Christ will be shared by a gathered people that will with God's help, take root and grow both within and without the walls of this church. Pray for our children, the workers, and all the families touched by the special week.
