How KiDS Ministry will Re-open + Students + Groups

, , ,

We are grateful that we have been able to re-opened our building for limited services. We are moving forward with re-opening our KiDS ministries for limited services, too. 

As we continue to regather on campus or online, we want to make sure we stay connected with you. Please let us know if we can pray for you or care for you in any way. 

KiDS Ministry | Limited Services Begin Aug 2 

On August 2nd, we will begin limited services for KiDS ministries.  You can hear more about what that will look like by watching Trina's video linked above. We also have updated our FAQ page with more information for you. 

Student Ministry | Services Begin Aug 5 

Our Middle and High School students will start back on August 5 at 6:30pm. We are making the environment safe for them and we are re-connect with all our students who are able to come. 

New Series Begins Aug 9
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of… 

We begin a new series in three Sundays that I hope you won't miss. What happens when our pursuit of happiness drives our beliefs, thoughts, and actions? We will look at what should drive your beliefs, especially when it comes to life and liberty.

HOST A GROUP IN HOME OR ONLINE 

This pandemic has left many people feeling disconnected. This should not be in the local church, however many people are needing that connection more than ever. This is why we have LifeGroups for people to connect. Will you prayerfully consider hosting a 6-week Life Group beginning on Aug 30? You can do this in your home or online. 

All groups will be encouraged to sync up with our series, Like A Good Neighbor. Attend our Group Host Rally on Aug 9 at 12:30pm. 

I am so grateful to be on mission together with you!

Building Re-Opening Update: 2020-07-08

, , ,

We are looking forward to seeing those who are ready to return to our public gatherings as we re-open our building this week. We have some information in the video above that is important to make this safe for all and to help us ensure that we can continue to publicly gather.

Building Re-Opening | Limited Services

8:15am Service: Best for those who are higher risk
9:30am & 11:00am: We ask that families with kids coming attend only these services.

Our seating will help you maintain a safe social distance while we worship together.

Masks

We encourage everyone, 6 years and older, to wear a mask to the 9:30 or 11:00am services and keep them on until you are seated.

To keep our 8:15am service safe for those who are at higher risk, we are requiring masks to be worn until you are seated. For those who have medical conditions that restrict you from wearing a mask, please follow your directives and please come to our 8:15am service.

I encourage you to adopt an attitude I am having:
"Wearing a mask is not about your view,
it's about who is next to you."

These efforts will help us gather safely and help us ensure that we will be able to continue to attend together.

Staying Home?

Please let us know if you will be staying home while we re-open our building. This will help us know how we can best stay connected with you and help you be cared for in this season.

Digital Bulletin

Our bulletin is now fully digital. Make sure you are subscribed by filling out this form. This will keep you informed as we re-open our different ministries and it will give you the link to our teaching notes for Sunday.

I am grateful to be on mission together with you as we are loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and sharing Jesus.

Building Re-Opening Update

, ,

We are grateful for you being a part of our family and we can't wait to be in the same room with our church family again. We know that God's grace is always revealed in our trials. We pray that, as we navigate this season and move forward, you will continue to rely on God's grace that He has given through Jesus.

Leaders Gathering | June 28

June 28, 6:00-7:00pm
Your KiDS will join you in the Community Room

We will have our first open worship service that is exclusively for all who serve here at Westside. We will be sharing an inspiring message that will direct our focus for the upcoming season.

Building Re-Opening | Limited Services

July 12 | 8:15, 9:30, & 11:00am services.

We encourage those who are considered "high risk" to attend our 8:15am service. This will be an adult only service and we will permit infants to come.

Our 9:30 and 11:00am services will be open for families. KiDS will join their parents in the Community Room for the 50 min services. We have added some procedures to what we have in place to keep our building clean. We will be giving you more information in the next few weeks about how we are preparing for you and what you can expect as we re-open our building.

KiDS & Westside Student Ministry

Services begin week of August 2.

Our KiDS ministry environments will re-open on August 2. Our Student Ministries will also begin their weekly services this week too.

WSM Groups are now meeting in person. Teenagers can connect in a group and you can get info on how you can host a group below.

Church @home | This Sunday

I challenge you to invite someone to have church @home with you at your home this week. This is a meaningful way we can build community with each other, pray for one another, worship together, and grow together. 

This Sunday, I will be giving a message that God has been stirring up in me for several weeks. It is timely and will challenge every follower of Jesus. I believe if every Christian would take this challenge, it would be the best action against racism.

We believe we are better on mission together loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and sharing Jesus.

Reopening Plan | Faith + Responsibility

, , ,

We know this has been a difficult and hard season for many people. As we continue to navigate this season, we are walking by faith and leading responsibly. 

Part of our responsibility is to listen to you and care for you. Please take this week’s updated check-in survey. 

Better Together on Mission

Even though our world has changed, our mission remains the same. We believe that we will be better together as we continue loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and sharing Jesus with those whom we live, work, and play.

We believe that God wants to turn your home into His hub for His mission.

Westside Leavenworth’s Reopening Plan

As our community reopens, we want to share our reopening plan with you. Please know that our leadership team has prayerfully and carefully deliberated over this plan in faith that God wants to work in and through us and with a sense of responsibility to our church family’s safety. 

This is a pliable plan and could change as circumstances change. At this time, we will continue to be the church @home. We plan to reopen our Sunday gatherings with the whole Westside Family on June 21. At that time we will be able to have all KiDS programming and our Westside Student Ministries will be able to meet weekly.

Church @home + Talk-It-Over

We will continue to be the church @home during Phase One. You may invite others to your home as long as you stay under 10 people.  This is your opportunity to step out in faith and join Jesus on His mission. Invite a neighborhood family, friends, or a life group family to join you for church @home.

We will continue to post a Talk-It-Over discussion guide for each Sunday teaching so you can talk it over with those you invite into your home. 

Subscribe to our KiDS youtube channel and follow our updates at westsideleavenworth.com/updates to get resources to lead your KiDS @home.

Groups

We encourage groups who are comfortable to begin meeting in person during Phase Two of the reopening plan.

Westside Student Ministries

Our teenagers, whose parents are comfortable with gatherings under 30 people, will begin to meet in small groups during Phase Two. WSM weekly services will reopen during Phase Out.

Courage to Step Out in Faith

We believe God will use you in greater ways by being the church @home than

by us gathering as a large church family during this season. We pray you have the courage to step out in faith and be on mission with us and be the church @home.

On mission with you,

Kasey Robinson

COVID-19 Update: 2020-04-15

Church Family,

As we continue to manage this crisis by "staying at home," I want to encourage you that God is still working. I also believe that even though we can't gather together in person, God wants to turn your home into a hub as you are loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and sharing Jesus from wherever you are.

I encourage you to watch the linked video and read below for all the opportunities to help you grow in your faith and care for your family.

Join a Group

Visit westsideleavenworth.com/onlinegroups to see all of the online groups that you can jump into from your home.

We have group resources available for you to equip and tool you to start a group or continue to grow together as a group.

For Your KiDS & Teens

Our KiDS ministry is creating church at home for your KiDS. Subscribe to our KiDS youtube channel to watch the videos on Sunday.

Our Westside Student Ministry has a zoom call each Wednesday for your teenagers to connect with others.

Keep up to date with all of our family resources during this "Stay at Home" time at westsideleavenworth.com/news.

#5HomeChallenge

Continue to connect with the five homes closest to you and pray for them regularly. God has placed you there for your neighbors.

Give Help + Get Help

Thank you to those who regularly give and have gone above to make sure we are able to care for those in need.

If you are in need, please visit westsideleavenworth.com/care to let us know. We don't want anyone to go hungry during this season.

Thank you for being on mission with us. Our family can't wait to be in the same room with you. Until then, know we are praying for you and our church is positioned to help you or others in need.

On mission with you,

Kasey Robinson
Lead Pastor, Westside Leavenworth
