for kids today

please pray for ➢ All those in our congregation dealing with loss, loneliness, feelings

of unworthiness, sadness, broken relationships, sorrow, financial hardship, illness. At this time of year when many people feel sadness in an acute way, may God reach into their lives and hearts and bring hope and healing.

Are you, or is someone you know, going through a crisis?

These crises happen in all our lives, at one time or another. They include

things like depression over the loss of a job, grief at the death of a loved

one, the necessity of hospitalization, the birth of a child. When a crisis

comes, it is helpful to have someone who cares for you. Our congregation

has trained 8 lay people who offer a ministry of Christian caring for

those in need and will have another 3 lay people commissioned as

Stephen Ministers in the very near future. When a crisis happens, think

about making use of their ministry. Please contact one of the

coordinators, Wendy Treble (cell 306-581-5363) or Bob Erwin (cell 306-

533-8514) if you would like to have some time with a Stephen Minister. If

you would rather send a request via e-mail, go to our website

westhillchurch.ca. Brochures are also available at the Information Desk.

For those who are unable to drive to church on a Sunday morning and

wanting to attend our service, we provide a bus service at no charge.

Please contact ‘Where 2 Transportation’ at 306-522-4477
