e-Letter
January 6, 2022
In this my first e-letter of 2022, I join Siphiwe and our families in wishing you a blessed 2022. May God’s goodness and grace be yours.
IN-PERSON WORSHIP IN JANUARY
We gather for in-person worship @ 9h00 this Sunday 9 January. On 16 January, we will return to worshipping in-person at 8h00 and 10h00, with Godly Play for kids @ 8h00 and Children’s Church and Rooted Youth @ 10h00. We will also serve coffee and tea after the services from 16 January. As the COVID-19 infection rates continue to fall and it becomes clear that vaccines are indeed preventing serious disease, I encourage those of you living in Centurion to return to in-person worship. It’s always a joy to be together and catch up after long times apart.

We kick off 2022 with our first preaching series – a four-week exploration of 1 Thessalonians – on 16 January. If your New Year’s resolution is to join a small group, click on the button below to sign up for a small group.

FINANCES
We closed off 2021 with tithes and offerings just R121 000 (2%) short of budget. Thank you for your regular, sacrificial, and joyful giving towards God’s work at West View, which has enabled us to continue to be a community where life change happens by the power of God’s Spirit.
Grace and Peace
Ian
