Westwood Message

Great Communion Coming October 17

Great Communion 2 will be hosted by Mandrake Road Church of Christ on October 17 at 10:00 AM. That will our Sunday morning service that day, and I hope you will plan to attend. The worship service will feature a worship service led by people from the four congregations attending and a message that will be delivered by ministers from the four churches. We will conclude the service with a time of communion together, and we will take an offering that will go toward this year’s Crop Walk, which will be held that day in Madison.

Mandrake Road Church of Christ is located on the north side of Lake Mendota at 4301 Mandrake Road, about three blocks north of Northport Drive. We will have maps and directions available at Westwood on Sunday. If you would prefer to have a ride to and from the service, please contact us at the Westwood office, and we will make arrangements.

Madison CROP Hunger Walk on October 17

Westwood had participated for a few years in the Madison CROP Hunger Walk. This year, we will be participating with a twist. We will be walking, but our fundraising will come from the offering taken that day at Great Communion 2. If you are going to walk this year, meet at First Congregational Church, 1609 University Avenue, Madison, at 12:45 PM on October 17 to register. The walk will begin at 1:30 PM. The Madison fundraising goal this year is $70,000.

CROP Hunger Walks help children and families worldwide -- and right here in the U.S. -- to have food for today, while building for a better tomorrow.

Each year some two million CROP Hunger Walkers, volunteers, and sponsors put their hearts and soles in motion, raising over $16 million per year to help end hunger and poverty around the world and in their own communities.

And you are part of it!
