 WMD! - it can stand for Westsiders Managing Debt or Westsiders Mauled by Debt.
Which best describes you?
In last Sunday's service I shared how Susan and I have been experiencing great relief and freedom from being mauled by our consumer debt.

 We are happy to pass along the exciting news that Michelle Stewart had a baby girl yesterday afternoon at 2:40pm.
Michelle and baby are both doing well.
The baby, who has not yet been named, weighed 8 pounds, 7 ounces and was 21 inches long.
Michelle has been a wonderful part of our church family in the 6 months she has been at Westside - especially as a member of our youth group where she has made many friends. Michelle's aunt and uncle, Wendy and John Reaume, are adopting the baby and Michelle is heading back to Ontario on Saturday.
Because the baby came later than expected, there are no Sunday's left to say goodbye to Michelle before her departure, so Friday night (7:45) at youth group, Michelle and the baby will at the church. We invite all our teens and their parents to drop in at the church then to say goodbye. |

Please remember that tomorrow night, at 7:00pm, we will be having our annual Ministry Focus Meeting at the church building. This is an important time of looking back on God's faithfulness in 2009 and approving plans for 2010.
The 2010 Annual Report booklet was distributed through the church mailboxes on Sunday morning. It includes a number of reports by leaders of various ministry areas at the church as well as the 2009 financial statements and 2010 budget proposal. Please make the effort to read this report before the meeting in order to help things move along smoothly. If you did not get your copy on Sunday you can download the online version here.
And remember, everyone is welcome to come this meeting. Members are expected to attend. |

Tomorrow's baby dedication and lunch after church have been postponed due to a minor logistical problem - the baby hasn't been born yet.
It seems that Michelle's baby may be holding out to be born in February - or March for all we know. Regardless, he or she isn't going to be in church for their dedication tomorrow so "No Food for you - one week!" (maybe).
Thanks for keeping Michelle and everyone in your prayers. |

From time to time we have sent out updates on the status of Westside's YTD offering situation just before the last Sunday of the month.
Tomorrow is the last Sunday of October, but our update information is from the end of September. As of the end of September our total general offerings were $81,022.69. To keep up with our budget for this year that figure needed to be $86,310.00 - a shortfall of $5,287.31.
As we head into the last two months of the year, let's pray and endeavour to overcome what we are behind while still keeping up with what is need in the remaining months.
As you will see from the more detailed financial update that you can download by  clicking here , our spending is on track with what we budgeted which highlights that much more the need to keep up with the spending plans we made as a church during the budget development and approval process at the beginning of the year.
Of course overriding all of the above is the fact that our giving should be an act of sacrifice and worship to our God. Following through on His leading to give may be uncomfortable for us financially, emotionally, and materialistically in regard to our standard of living, but Jesus is worthy and deserving our our heartfelt and intentional devotion and offering of every part of us.
Let's give for the greatest and purest reason of all - the goodness of God and our heartfelt thankfulness to Him. |
