Many of us have been using the Lectio 365 devotional app this week to accompany us on our journey through Lent this year (if you haven't yet, it is well worth installing so that you can join us).

This week WMC hosted a three day meeting of the MCSA's Young Men's Guild and welcomed some 150 YMG leaders from around our Connexion into our space. If you visited us during this time, you may have seen our halls and sanctuary beautifully set up for the meetings, and you may have been treated to some singing that just about literally lifted the roof!
The season of Lent always seems to sneak up on us much faster than expected! Here are the details you need to be aware of for this year's season of preparation leading up to Easter: 1. Lent officially begins on Ash Wednesday (18 February) and we have an evening service (18h30) on that day where we will be marked with ash crosses on our foreheads as a sign of repentance and our longing to return to God.
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.
