Monthly Update
February 2025 Monthly

4:30 PM Sunday, February 2nd at Westside Church (7300 Stockdale Hwy) for our regular rhythm of worship, prayer, teaching and taking the Bread & Cup as House Church communities. We will teach from the reading for the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany - Hebrews 2:14-18.

Near the beginning of each year, we set aside a special time to reflect on where God has led us, seek His guidance for the year ahead, and submit our plans to Him in prayer. Annual Vision & Prayer (AVP) is a time for our House Church communities to come together to seek and celebrate God.
This year, AVP will take place during our regularly scheduled All Gathering on Sunday, March 2, at 4:30 PM. We will spend time in prayer and worship, share our vision for 2025, bless and commission the Wilcox Family as Overseers, and provide a brief financial overview of 2024/25.
Please make it a priority to be there that evening—we look forward to seeking God together!

Lent is a 40-day season of reflection, repentance, and preparation for Easter. The season commemorates a practice of Jesus in time of fasting in the wilderness. It begins with Ash Wednesday, March 5, inviting us to draw near to God through prayer, fasting, and intentional reflection. We encourage you to begin to prayerfully contemplate what this season looks like for you as we practice the way of Jesus together.

This spring, Midweek Discipleship is back! For five weeks, we’ll dive into the Apostles’ Creed—one of the earliest and most enduring summaries of the Christian faith. More than just doctrine, it’s a way to root ourselves in the gospel story and explore how these truths shape our lives.
This class is open to everyone—students and adults alike. If you need childcare, let us know! We’re gauging interest and will do our best to provide it if there’s enough need.
-
The Sunday after Easter, April 27, we will hold a special Baptism Gathering. Baptism is a sacrament that symbolizes a deeper spiritual reality—our old, isolated self is buried with Christ, and we are raised to new life in Him and His body, the Church.
If you’re ready to take this step of faith, we invite you to sign up to express your desire for baptism and receive information about our next Baptism Class. More details can be found HERE
