A "Top of the Evening" Fellowship is scheduled at 6 PM on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, in Whitten Hall. Everyone is encouraged to wear green and each family is asked to bring a dish of that color for a potluck meal—a salad, vegetable, main dish, or dessert. In addition, bring your favorite board game and be ready to compete in "The Amazing Race - Westwood Style". Sign up at the welcome center in the narthex.

Easter Eggstravaganza help is needed! Westwood’s fourth annual Easter Eggstravaganza will be from 2:30-4:00 PM on Sunday, March 25, at the church. Children ages three through the fourth grade will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ with an afternoon of exciting activities. Youth are needed to help in the nursery, with the egg hunts, as story time helpers, game helpers, and as preschool group guides. Sign up with Stephen on Sunday.

Youth Sunday is right around the corner and we are having a planning meeting this Sunday night, March 11, after FaithStation. If you want to help plan the Youth Sunday service, please come to this meeting in the Green Room right after FaithStation.
