Invite a Friend to Westwood
You can always invite a friend or family member to come to Westwood with you, but in the next few weeks we will have two events to which I would like to encourage you to invited others.
First, we will hold an outreach event on March 26 at 7:00 pm when we host a presentation from Jews For Jesus titled Christ In the Passover. Jean Hanson, a volunteer with Jews For Jesus will make the presentation, and we will follow it with a feedback/question and answer time. While the presentation focuses on the Jewish Passover, it is relevant for everyone seeking to know Christ as it shows how God used the Passover to prepare people for the coming of his Son into the world.
Second, we will celebrate the resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday, April 4. On that day, I will conclude my current sermon series with a message on the resurrection by looking at Jesus’ raising of Lazarus from the dead using the theme, “Discovering the One Who Defeats Death.” Our worship planning team is discussing ideas for an uplifting worship service that Sunday. It will provide you with another great opportunity to invite a friend or family member to attend with you.
By early March, we will have flyers ready for you to use to invite people to these events. You can begin now to pray about who you can invite.
See a Special Exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum
The Milwaukee Public Museum is currently exhibiting, in a limited engagement, “Dead Sea Scrolls and the Bible: Ancient Artifacts, Timeless Treasures.”
We are planning a group trip to see the exhibit and will be announcing a date soon. Keith Schoville, our “resident biblical archaeologist” has agreed to see the exhibit. He will be able to answer some of the questions people in our group might have.
The exhibit brings together archaeological objects and manuscripts to tell a story 2,000 years in the making. You will witness actual Dead Sea Scrolls and other early biblical artifacts to learn how transmission of these early writings has shaped the beliefs of Judaism and Christianity and influenced aspects of Islam. This is the largest temporary exhibit ever produced by the Milwaukee Public Museum.
Free Showing of ”Sophie’s Choice”
Care Net Pregnancy Center is hosting a special screening of the newly acclaimed film, "Sarah's Choice" starring Rebecca St. James. This inspirational movie is about a young woman who experiences an unplanned pregnancy and is torn about what to do. With financial pressures mounting and her career at stake, she must make a choice. This free viewing of the film can be seen on February 28 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at High Point Church. You can sign up for free tickets at Care Net’s web site.
