Communion

We celebrate the Sacrament of Communion-the Lord’s Supper-in worship on the 1st Sunday of each month. In the Sacrament of Communion, we remember Christ’s death until He comes again. (1 Corinthians 11:26)

Communion is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, regardless of denominational affiliation or background. According to Scripture, we believe that the elements of Communion are symbolic; the bread represents Jesus’ body, broken for the sins of the world; the cup represents God’s new covenant with His people in Jesus’ blood, shed for the sins of the world. (Matt 26:26-30, Mark 14:22-25, 1 Corinthians 11:23-25)

The Sacrament of Communion is a joyful feast in which we embrace the hope of eternal life through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God offers freely to all who believe.

Upcoming Events

For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.

Matthew 18:20

April 2nd 2023 Palm Sunday

Amelia the Donkey from C Arrow Stables will make an appearance at Westwood to celebrate Palm Sunday with us. She is scheduled to arrive around 9:45am and loves to be petted! About 10:20am Amelia will lead us to worship, as we follow her around the building waving palms and singing our praises to Jesus.

Maundy Thursday Seder Worship

On Thursday, April 6th at 7:00pm we will remember Jesus’ last night on earth, as we observe a Seder Worship Service in Fellowship Hall. “Seder” is Hebrew for “order,” referring to the order of worship for the Passover meal. We will partake of many of the elements of Passover; the bitter herbs, the unleavened bread, etc., as we worship & commemorate the Exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt. We will conclude this meaningful service with Communion, as we remember Jesus’ Last Supper with His disciples. There is a sign-up sheet in the atrium.
