Lenten Calendar
Lenten Mission Campaign
The affordable housing crisis is crippling families across Passaic County, where 47.9 percent of renters spend 30 percent or more of their income on shelter. The need for affordable places to call home is greater than it has been in a generation...and more out of reach than ever.
That's why West Side has chosen Passaic County Habitat for Humanity as our 2023 Lenten mission partner. Our goal: to raise $40,000 ($1,000 for each of the 40 days of Lent) to help PCHFH put God's love into action by building safe, stable, affordable homes for families and individuals in need...and transform lives in Passaic County.
"We believe in a world where everyone — no matter who we are or where we come from — deserves a decent place to live. And we recognize that, to create this world, our work must always break down barriers, bring people of all backgrounds together, and generate equity, respect and lasting change." - PCHFH Core Value

Sermon Series: The Call to I Am
I am. Two of the most powerful words...for what you put after them shapes your reality.
During the season of Lent we will focus on five of the seven "I am" statements in the Gospel of John and explore not only what they tell us about Jesus (and God!), but also how we are called to live out the life of faith. For we are called to be light, bread and gate, as well as a shepherding and resurrection-witnessing presence in the world.
Small Groups
