A Word from Dean
It seems to me that there are many fewer angels and nativity scenes decorating houses and yards this season.
Session Notes: December 2023
Your Session sat for its regular monthly meeting this week. Bridge Pastor Dean McDonald moderated.
A Word from Dean
Advent has arrived! It is the season that begins a new Christian liturgical calendar (Year B assigned readings, to be exact) and calls us to both reflect somberly on our own faithfulness – like Lent, and to celebrate exuberantly in the promised coming of the Baby Jesus, our Savior.
A Word from Dean: Advent
As we finish eating the Thanksgiving leftovers and begin to haul out the Christmas decorations, I want to share the plans for the seasons of Advent and Christmastide that begin on Sunday, December 3rd.
Good-bye Sofie Fashana; Welcome, Isaiah Leatherwood!
In addition to Pastor Laura’s leaving and Pastor Dean coming on board as our bridge pastor, Western staff is undergoing two additional changes.
A Word from Laura: Thank you
At the end of his earthly life with his disciples, Jesus prayed to God for them and made sure that they could hear. In that spirit – and hopefully the Spirit – I share my prayers of thanksgiving for you, Western Church Family, before this final Sunday.
