Coffee and juice will be served, but no food.

Retooled and Refueled Seminar

The seminar which was scheduled this past week had to be postponed due to health issues with Steve Diggs, the speaker. Steve was very apologetic for having to do this, but his health must take priority. We have rescheduled this seminar for May 9-10.

Hopefully the Koinonia Teams are up and running now and getting the year started with a bang. If you have not been contactd by a team leader, please set Jim or one of the elders know as soon as possible.

Thanks

Thanks to each person and family that contributed to assist with the financial obligation for the eye surgery for JoAnne Gipson, wife of Bill Gipson. It seems that the Westchurch congregation always does come through when needed.

Men's Prayer and Fellowship Breakfast

The men that assembled, this past Saturday morning for prayer and fellowship had a great time of eating and sharing as they began the day together. The next gathering is scheduled for February 4, 2012.

Wednesday Night Meal

Thanks to each of the ladies that helped prepare the meal this past Wednesday. As usual, it was delicious and plentiful. We had around 37 here to eat and fellowship together. The next one will be on February 1, 2012.

Westchurch Church of Christ

We are a community of imperfect humans made perfect before God by virtue of the pure blood of Jesus, which was shed, on the cross. Our faith is in Jesus and we each belong to Him! We are an unholy, unrighteous, sin crippled people whom God has declared Holy and Righteous because of His Grace.

A church's that follows Jesus will never tag people with the errors and omission of their lives--it will urge people to claim God forgiveness and move forward. Such a church will saturate people in a Jacuzzi of grace and acceptance and pray daily for their healing and improvement.

During the mid-1940s a few families began meeting in Hammond City Hall. The first home for the congregation was located on Scanlan Street in a building constructed around 1950 through the joint effort of the Carrollton Avenue congregation, New Orleans, and the Convention Street church, Baton Rouge. The congregation moved to the present Church Street location in late 1967, and the Open House was held on January 14, 1968. The mortgage burning ceremony was held on September 6, 1981.
