MISSION CUBA 2016 If this is your first time at West Park Church, we are glad you are here. If you would like to learn more about West Park, here are some suggested next steps to help you get connected. Complete one of our Connection Cards located in the seat back in front of you and place it in the offering plate. We will be happy to send you any information you request. Visit our Guest Centre in the Atrium. Pastor Charles and his wife Sherryl will be there and would like to meet you. You will also receive a welcome gift and some information about our programs. What can I expect on Sundays at West Park? We believe that it is important to develop a global partnership. As a local church we have a mandate to serve globally, and it would be most beneficial to choose one place where we can go deep in relationship and visit often. A team of 8 people will be travelling to Cuba on October 28 for 9 days to work with a local pastor. We will be doing leadership development with local pastors, running a VBS, and doing a men’s retreat. Please pray for a fruitful time of ministry and that the team can discern what a future partnership could look like. What are your services like? We offer three worship services at 10:30 am, one in English, one in Mandarin, and one in Spanish. What is there for children? During our worship services, we provide loving care and an engaging experience for kids from birth through grade 5. Please take your child(ren) upon arrival to the Kids’ Registration Centre to check them in for KidsWalk. A Parents’ Room is available for those with restless little ones. There is a monitor so that you can still enjoy the service and some toys to occupy your children. Our ushers would be happy to point you in the right direction. What is there for Jr. High? Every Sunday at around 10:55, we dismiss the Jr High students to go to the youth room. We will watch a short clip of the previous week’s sermon from the main service. Here students get Bible teaching, small groups, games, a chance to make new friends, laugh, grow spiritually together, and sometimes have free food!
