Greetings People of Westside!

Guest Speaker:
Our service this Sunday features a guest speaker from the Southwest Reservation Aid organization. This is the group we support with a quarterly offering (received last week) as part of honoring the land we occupy. SWRA provides a variety of programs and aid in partnership with indigenous people in our area of the southwest. Come to learn more about the work they do! 

    Here are what we have to look forward to this week:
