From Westwood Message – April 8, 2010

Al Lynk Baptized on Good Friday

At the end of our Good Friday service on April 2, Al Lynk was baptized into Christ. Al has been participating in several activities of the congregation already.

If you have not been in the church office recently, you may not know that Chardel’s office (which doubles as meeting space for one Bible study and quite a few meetings) has been repainted. Al did most of the painting. Thanks, Al.

Bob and Dawn Baird Coming to Westwood on April 25

Bob and Dawn Baird, veteran missionaries to the Congo in Africa, long-time friends of Christine and I, and the speaker at our Women’s Retreat in 2009 (Dawn, not Bob) will visit Westwood on April 25. Bob will be preaching, and they will share with the adult class about their ministry in the Congo.

After spending the last few years based in Central Illinois, the Baird’s are currently making plans to spend significant time in the Congo each year and be regularly involved in the mission work there. They will tell us about their plans. Shortly after their visit to Westwood, Bob will be traveling to the Congo, with plans for Dawn to follow in the summer.

Sermon Series in Colossians Begins April 11

Ken will begin a sermon series in Colossians on April 11. Each sermon will be followed with the adult class, “Going Deeper: A Discussion of Today’s Sermon,” at 11:00 am each week. Colossians does a wonderful job of describing how we are to make Christ supreme in our lives and in the church, first through a description of who Christ is and then through various descriptions of how we are to live with Christ in our lives.
