Bringing in Christmas

Sunday, November 30, 11:30am in DePhilips Hall

Come create your own Advent wreath to take home as we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. We’ll provide the frame, candles, and materials — just bring your family and your Christmas spirit! This is a wonderful hands-on way for children to learn the meaning of Advent and for families to mark the beginning of the season together.

And that’s not all — come and enjoy food, festive music, and warm fellowship as we celebrate the start of Advent as a church family. All are welcome!

Sign up to make a wreath

Hanging of the Greens

Sunday, November 30, 12:00pm in the Narthex

After Bringing In Christmas, we invite you to stay and take part in Hanging of the Greens!
All ages are welcome to help dress the church for the holiday season. Guided by our Music & Arts Committee, we’ll hang ornaments on trees, wrap garlands, place wreaths, and fill the church with Christmas beauty and joy.

Come celebrate the start of Advent with warmth, laughter, service, and the spirit of Christmas!

Love in Action

This Advent, we’re turning faith into something you can see and touch. Our goal: $30,000 to bring love to life through:

Rise Against Hunger

meal-packing events right here at West Side.

Appalachia Service Project

sending youth + adults to repair homes and build hope.

Because LOVE isn’t just something we say. It’s something we DO.

Give today at westside.org/give → choose "2025 Advent Mission." Let’s awaken the world with love—right here, right now.
