It has been said that "a perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken." On a hot day like today, the latter is certainly true! Summer is a wonderfully unique season that literally opens new doors of opportunity...yes, to experience the great outdoors, but also to consider and participate in certain activities that are unique to the season. Mowing the lawn may be one of these, but there are others, particularly within the fellowship known as Westwood Baptist Church.
Summer brings VBS, Impact Virginia!, PASSPORTkids! Camp, as well as summer seminars, special fellowships, and events like the Echo food drive and Springfield Gardens back to school celebration. Summer is not necessarily a time to slow down, but a rich opportunity to experience the grace and love of God at work in these and other unique summer events. If you go to our church website, you will find a link on the front page to several special summer events that you can take part in, and invite a friend or neighbor to join you.
A perfect summer day is more than a broken lawnmower. At Westwood, it is celebrating God's presence with us at the baseball game, camp, worship and fellowship opportunities. Make the most of these wonderful summer days. You can always borrow the neighbor's mower and cut the grass tomorrow.
