In ancient Israel on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) the High Priest was permitted to enter the Holy of Holies in the temple in Jerusalem - the sacred space where it was understood he would stand in the very presence of God.

Our pastoral caring team met this week. We spent time reflecting on the caring work that is happening at WMC: pastoral visits (please let the office know if you or someone else needs a visit or call), intercessory prayer (in the Staying Connected and after services), birthday calls, flower deliveries, bereavement care, home communion, meal support. Please contact the office if you'd like to be involved in any of these.
If you've been following the progress of the Springbok rugby team over the last few years, one of the things you will hear being said all the time by other nations is how envious they are of the incredible depth of talent that South Africa has to draw on.
Connecting
Groups
Great as it is to be all together on Sundays, it is in small groups that we experience the best of community life - friendships, encouragement and a shared journey following Jesus in the midst of ordinary life. Contact us if you'd like to join a group, or visit our groups page for news and more info.
Come and meet us
It's easy to feel anonymous in a church community, but we really want to get to know all our people. We serve tea and eats at every service and would love to meet you! If you're new, sign up for one of our regular Newcomers Tea's.
Staying in the loop
Contact the office to be added to our WhatsApp group and/or email list to keep up to date with what is happening in our community (and have a look at our weekly Staying Connected newsletter).Getting involved
Mission projects
We support many worthwhile causes in our area and host two relief projects on our property - the Westville Churches Food Bank and our Soup Kitchen. Plan to come and visit these projects and find out where you can play your part.
Serving in a team
Serving forms us. It changes us from guests into hosts and really makes us feel like part of the church family. Whatever your gifts and availability, we have a team for you to join - musicians, greeters, tea / coffee pourers, tech support, maintenance gurus, designers, decorators, organisers, communicators, and more! Let us know where you'd like to help.
Giving
Ministry is made possible at WMC through the faithful and generous giving of our people. More than that, for Jesus, giving is a discipleship issue - it reveals where our heart is. Find more details about our planned giving programme here.Questions
If you need help or advice with a memorial service, please contact our office. Your family do not need to be linked to our church - we will do our best to help.
Our minister conducts a limited number of wedding services for couples connected to our church. We are not able to host large receptions on our property.
