Digital Program (11:00)
WELCOME TO WESTERN HILLS!
We are glad that you could join us! At Western Hills you will find a church made up of imperfect people who make every effort to love God and love people (Matthew 22:37-40). Please let us know if we can assist you in any way during our service today. Listening devices are available.
CHILDREN: If you are here with your family we hope that you will check out our children’s programming during the service. Due to precautions regarding Covid, our children's offerings are different: We are not offering a staffed nursery, but mothers with babies are welcome to take them there if they want to. There is a screen with a live feed of the service there if they still want to pay attention to the service. Children ages 4 - 5th grade leave part way through the service to go downstairs for their classes. We intentionally include children in the beginning of our service so families can worship together and we fully expect them to behave like children, ask questions, and not be silent. Please don’t feel any pressure to make them behave otherwise. 😊
OFFERING: The offering is for those who call Western Hills Christian Church their spiritual home. If you are a visitor with us, please do not feel any obligation to give in the offering. If you would like to give online, please visit www.westernhillsnj.com/give.
COMMUNION: Jesus gave all of himself on a Roman cross as a sacrifice for us on our behalf. This sacrifice is what gives us hope for today and life with Jesus forever. We remember this sacrifice each week when we eat and drink the simple elements that represent his blood shed for us and his body that was broken on the cross on our behalf. We invite all to participate.
