Dear West View Family
CELEBRATE MANDELA DAY THIS SATURDAY 18th JULY
This Mandela Day we’re offering two opportunities for you to make a difference for Jesus:
GUARD OF HONOUR FOR FRONTLINE HEALTH WORKERS
Join with people around the world in cheering on and encouraging frontline workers putting their lives on the line to treat those with COVID-19. Join us at the entrance of Unitas Hospital 6h00 to 7h30 to cheer the staff arriving for the daytime shift and knocking off from the night shift. Dress warmly, bring a flask of coffee or hot chocolate, make a sign with words of encouragement or appreciation, and we’ll line the entrance and cheer on our medical heroes and heroines. Kids welcome. If possible, RSVP to james@westview.org.za so we know how many people to expect. Social distancing will be observed.
DITSHEGO JAR OF HOPE
We would like to join many others in collecting these for Ditshego and the Mooiplaas community. One of these jars is able to feed a family of four. If you would like to assist us with this project, please could you kindly drop off your filled jar at one of our following drop off points before this Friday 17th July. For a list of drop off points please see our website https://bit.ly/2Whi1hg
MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR GUSSIE SMIT
The memorial service for Gussie Smit will be on Wednesday 15th July 10am at West View. In line with lockdown regulations, the service is limited to 50 people. 20 places have been allocated to West View congregants. Please RSVP to lael@westview.org.za as soon as possible to reserve your space. The service will also be broadcast online via YouTube https://youtu.be/cyaeePdMTzw .
