ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Westside Baptist Church is glad to welcome newcomers to our Worship Service. Please fill out a guest record card and return it to the ushers or greeters so that we may keep in touch with you. Westside would also like to invite Christians attending our services regularly to consider making Westside their spiritual home. Please contact the pastoral staff or deacons if you are interested.
• English WBC101 has been completed but for those who want to know more about Christianity, or who are interested in transferring their membership, please contact Pastor Gladys for details.
• Bulletins will not be printed for the English worship services, so church volunteers are asked to check their duties online via googledocs. A hard copy of the duty list will also be posted in the foyer. Please call the church office and speak with Roberta about any duty shift changes.
• All are welcome to enjoy a simple meal that will be served every week after the service at a cost of $5. To pre-purchase meal tickets, contact Joyce Lai or Shera Ng, or register through the English Ministry Facebook page. The deadline is Wednesday each week. Meal tickets purchased at the door will be $6 upon availability.

• Childcare is provided for children under 3 in Room B during the worship service.
• There will be small group gatherings every Saturday at 8pm after the community meal. Come and get connected with one another and learn about small group life through “Who Is God?”. All are welcome. Please contact Pastor Gladys if you are interested in joining a small group.
• Church prayer meetings are held every Saturday at 5:00pm in Room F. All are encouraged and welcome to attend.

Hot water is also available free of charge. Brothers and sisters are encouraged to be eco-friendly and bring their own mugs or use the ceramic cups inside the cupboard. Please wash them after use.
