On Sunday, this church held a special collection specifically for aid and relief to the victims of hurricane Katrina. I am excited to announce that $5,592.80 has been collected so far. Praise God. This is simply one more sign (among many) God is active in this place and working through this church.
The money collected will be used to create a resource fund, right here at Western Hills. We are dedicated to meeting the vast needs of this disaster both immediate and future. So this fund will place us in the "at-the-ready" position to meet the needs God brings to our attention. This may include:
- purchasing immediate food/water/diapers etc
- covering cost of medications
- providing transportation for evacuees
- sponsoring a family who was displaced by Katrina
We are not sure exactly which opportunities of ministry God will bring to us. We do know He will bring some opportunity and this fund is just the beginning of His providing the means to answer the call.
May God continue to bless Western Hills with ministry.

Whenever I decided to place membership at Western Hills a little over two years ago, I knew that this was a very giving/loving congregation. I'm glad to see how much our members are willing to help those in need and that the giving never stops.
