| National/International Outreach |
|
Westview’s outreach to the wider world is done through efforts by our individual church community and our local (Plains and Peaks) presbytery as well as through several nationwide efforts of the Presbyterian Church, USA.
Mission Work TripsIn recent years, members have participated in helping with housing and property repairs after disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and Texas. These trips are arranged through the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance program. In the past, trips to help with church building and repairs in needy communities in Colorado and South Dakota have involved a number of Westview participants.
Presbyterian Coffee ProjectFair Trade coffee and other items fairly traded for the benefit of farmers and producers from countries around the world are sold to members and used by the congregation.
The Menaul SchoolA Presbyterian Mission School in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that is supported in part by efforts of members of the Westview community who collect Campbell’s Soup labels and Box Tops for Education.
One Great Hour of SharingDonations collected during annual campaigns support such projects as ministries for children at risk in communities around the world as well as providing major funding for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance.
From time to time, members also initiate other efforts at the local level, depending on their passions and concerns. An Outreach committee, made up of Westview volunteers, works with individuals to help them fulfill God’s specific calling in their lives.
