Lend a Hand

Lend a Hand is an Outreach Committee Project. The Westwood Congregation gather to prepare bags of snacks, water and a pamphlet showing all the available facilities in Wichita for the homeless. The bags are available to anyone who wants to take them to hand out to homeless persons.

Neighborhood Night Out

Neighborhood Night Out is a big neighborhood block party to facilitate the meeting of our members, church neighbors, and families and staff from Benton Elementary. A cookout is held with lots of yummy foods and children are able to enjoy a variety of carnival games while adults are entertained by exceptional music. There is no charge – just an opportunity for Westwood Church to share the gift of fellowship with others.
