I'm hosting a session on Monday, May 18th (7pm) called Next Steps, but it's probably not what you think. This isn't a 'class' you attend to check a box or to merely become a member. It is a moment for me to pull back the curtain on my 'why'—who I am at the core and the heartbeat of this house.

But more than that, I want to talk about you. I've noticed you, and I believe you are here for a reason far bigger than just filling a seat. I want to explore who you are in this season and why you exist for a time such as this.

I'm inviting you because I don't want to just 'pastor' a church; I want to build a future with people who understand their identity and share the same fire. I want you to see what I see, so we can discover what we are called to do together.

I'd really love for you to be in that room with me. Can I count you in?

Hugs and High Fives ✋🏼

WESTERING GIVES BACK: Our Mission of Hope Continues!

Hi everyone,

The response to our Community Relief drive has already been so moving, but we know the need in our community remains immense. Because so many of you have reached out asking for more ways to help, we are extending our donation drive!

We are still transforming our Mother & Daughter competition into a Community Relief Lucky Draw. Your donations aren't just help, they are your "ticket" to winning one of our 3 incredible prizes!

How it works:
Simply drop off a donation of:
• Warm clothing
• Warm blankets
• Non-perishable food items

NEW Extended Drop-Off Times:
To make it easier for everyone to contribute, you can now drop off your donations at Westering Full Gospel Church (1 Diggery Drive) during these times:

SUNDAY, 10 May: Before or after our morning service (Service starts at 09H00).

MONDAY, 11 May: Between 09H00 and 13H00.

Please Note: To keep the focus on our collective effort, each person who donates will receive one entry into the Lucky Draw. Whether you bring a single item or a whole bag, every bit of support counts and earns you a chance to win!

Let's keep this momentum going, fill those donation bins, and show the true heart of Westering. We aren't just a church; we are a family. Let's help our neighbours find their feet!

Please share this update with your followers, friends, and family. Let's make an even bigger impact together!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Westering Community Night Market Postponed

Hi everyone,

We are writing to you with a heavy heart but a clear sense of responsibility. Over the last 48 hours, we have all witnessed the severe weather and devastating flooding that has impacted our city, infrastructure, and homes.

With heavy rain and strong winds forecast to continue through today and tomorrow, and with deep care for those who have suffered loss because of the storm, we have made the difficult decision to postpone tomorrow's market (Friday, 8 May) to Friday, 29 May 2026.

Why we are making this call:
A successful market requires two things: our valued vendors and "feet on the ground." While we know you are ready to trade, we believe the foot traffic will not be there tomorrow. Many of our loyal supporters are currently dealing with significant loss and destruction, and it would not be right, or productive for your sales, to push forward.

By moving the date, we aim to alleviate the disappointment of a poorly attended event and allow our community the time they need to recover. We believe this is a time and an opportunity to help the many who have suffered loss to find their feet.

The Details:
New Date: Friday, 29 May 2026
Time: 17h00 – 21h00
Next Steps: We will share further logistical details and updated promotional material in the coming days.

We understand this may be disappointing news, but we believe this is the best path forward for the success of your businesses and the well-being of the Westering Community Night Market.

Please stay safe and look after one another. We look forward to a massive, successful market on the 29th.

Hugs and High Fives ✋🏼
