SUNDAY SERVICE
We have plenty of room and all are welcome to join us for our Nanson Street Sunday 10am services. If you are unable to join us in person, you can also listen to any of our Sunday sermons, via podcast on our Homepage.
From July 4, we started our theme “Love Letters to the Church”. You can visit our homepage for an outline of what we will be covering in our Sunday sermons.
Common Purse 2021 – Thank you
Here is the video of Phil, giving an overview of the Common Purse and its history and vision.
Westcity Town Hall Meeting and Community Lunch, Sunday August 8, after the service.
Friday Youth – Dates for Term 3, coming soon. Fridays, 7pm-8.30pm at Westcity. All high school aged youth and their friends are welcome.
Sunday Youth – All high school aged youth are invited to join us for some teaching and discussion at our next Sunday Youth (dates coming soon).
Join us in the chapel for the normal Westcity Sunday service and then Youth will head out the back together, at the end of the worship/music. This morning will aim at a discussion with a member of the teaching team around how our church teaching relates and connects to the young people in our community.
CONNECT
Community Life: The word ‘life’ in our community life title is an acronym for Love, Inclusion, Faith, Everyone. We love gathering on a Sunday but we see our discipleship journey together as something so much more. It’s also the spaces in between each Sunday where we get to live out our faith in Jesus with one another. Whether we are meeting for a coffee, studying the bible together in a home church, sharing meals, praying in the morning on zoom or the myriad of other gatherings that take place throughout the week, we see this as being a part of living out our vision of loving God, Loving people and following Jesus.
Morning Prayer: Join us on zoom, every morning from 7am – 7:30am (Monday – Friday). Click on ‘Join us’ in the sentence above. The zoom password is ‘prayer’. Each of us read the scriptures to ourselves, think about what we have read, have a few minutes of stilling ourselves before God, and maybe a few minutes blessing and praying for one another before we enter the day.
Home Church: Centered around Jesus’ teachings and presence, undergirded by friendship with one another and service to each other. To join (or lead) a Home Church, contact Phil Stevenson via our website or email phil.westcitychurch@gmail.com
Welcome to Westcity Dinner (W2W): Register Here
Friday July 30 @ 7pm, at Rob & Lois’ House in Swanbourne
For those who are new to Westcity church, or those who have recently joined our community and would like to learn more about Westcity and how to get more engaged and connected, if and when you are ready.
When you meet a friend you have them over for a meal. At Westcity it’s no different. As we come to the communion table of Jesus each week we learn about the welcome of Christ and let’s face it, meals are the best way to extend a welcome.
The other great thing about a meal is that we get to share a bit about each other. You get to meet some of the team and we get to share a bit about how Westcity functions, what we value, what we’re up to. All of this is done around good food and wine. There’s no pressure, just family (in Christ) having a yarn.
We have 12 limited places, so please register early to avoid disappointment.
We plan on hosting these W2W Dinners every calendar term. For more info chat to Phil Stevenson or email westcitychurch@gmail.com
Lectio Divina
Saturday August 14 @ 9am, at Westcity Church
You are so welcome, to join us for scripture reading, prayer and communion with God. Register for free here.
Lectio Divina (or in Latin “divine reading”) is a prayerful way of reading Scripture, practiced from very early in the Christian centuries. The purpose is not gathering information, but communion with God. It is an explicit attempt to pray Scripture, rather than quickly read it –as we might flick through an online newspaper. It is a way to slow down our reading of Scripture so that we don’t miss Jesus speaking to us. Lectio Divina is about opening ourselves to a conversation that is already in progress, that we have all been invited to.
It is best when it isn’t a discipline but a way of being with God. Conversation and communion linked together by Spirit and Word. Heart and mind linked by the Spirit. Lectio Divina combines listening in a small community and individual space to think and pray in your heart and mind. The practice itself will take 60 minutes and the time flies by!
Cost and registration: Free. Please register here via this Eventbrite link by August 1st.
For more information you can chat to Neil Chisholm or Phil Stevenson or email westcitychurch@gmail.com.
Connect Groups: Meeting online and in person: Women, Men, Young Mums, Young Adults (20-39 Year Olds). Email westcitychurch@gmail.com to join. Details on our ‘Westcity Church’ Facebook page.
