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.

CPR/AED classes sponsored by the Parish Nurses

Westwood is fortunate to have an AED used in case of a cardiac emergency in the church building. It is used in conjunction with calling 911 and starting CPR before the paramedics arrive. Every two years the Parish Nurses sponsor CPR/AED classes for the Office staff, Ushers, Nursery Attendants. There is room for only 10 in each class which lasts about 3 hours. If there are openings in the class, anyone can attend for a fee of $45. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Grace Sadiq or the church office.
