Yesterday, we celebrated the
life of Nancy D'Ambrosio, long-time member of Westwood. Another of our
long-time faithful members, Charles Clark, shared his remembrances of Nancy
during the service, particularly highlighting her persistent interest in
missions. Charles told us that Nancy was not only faithful in prayer and
present in mission action, but also generous in her giving to support mission
efforts locally and around the world. In other words, her
faithfulness empowered the work of others and therefore, the work of the
Kingdom.
Sunday, we will pray for and then send out our Impact Team. They will
spend the week in Fluvanna rehabbing broken structures and offering hope and
help in Jesus' name to the residents they encounter. We may not be able to go
with them, but like Nancy, we can faithfully empower their work through prayer
and faithful giving. Pray for this team every day and then give faithfully
throughout the year in your regular budget giving, Mama Mias, and other
fundraisers such as the dessert auction. In doing so, you are participating in
meaningful ways, following the example of Nancy and so many others through the
years who have made missions a Westwood priority.
Join us for worship this Sunday as we commission our Impact Team and invite
a friend to join you.
Jim Abernathy
