July is family month at Westover
We are so excited to celebrate Family Worship Month this July at Westover! It’s a wonderful opportunity for parents and kids to connect, grow, and experience our worship service side-by-side.
To help make this special family time possible, our Magnify Children's program (elementary worship) will be taking a little summer recess for the month. We can't wait to see our elementary children filling the worship center with energy and praise!
Hey parents of littles: Don't worry! The nursery and Kidz2Praise (2's - Kinder) will still be going strong during the worship service.

Volunteer with Academy 4
Please note: this is the last Academy 4 mentoring day of the school year. We’ll see you again in the fall!
Serve with Academy 4!
Academy 4 is a local nonprofit organization that pairs 4th grade students in economically disadvantaged schools with a mentor. Students meet with their mentors monthly for 90 minutes to walk through a leadership development curriculum from which they learn a new leadership trait each month (Listen, Encourage, Attitude, Develop, Example, Respect, Serve). Through the simple vehicle of a positive relationship with a dependable adult, 4th grade students gain a greater sense of self-worth, a positive view of the future, increased engagement in school, and encouragement for greater academic achievement.
Westover has been volunteering with Academy 4 since 2018, and our volunteers are paired with students at Pillow Elementary School. We serve together one Friday each month. This is a great way to share God’s love with young people in Austin.
If you are interested in volunteering with Academy 4 alongside 40+ other Westover members:
Please email Glenn Scott (tglennscott86@gmail.com) or complete the form on Westover’s Serve page.

Art of Marriage Study Group
You and your spouse are invited to join in this 7-week study Art of Marriage. Sunday morning study group (during Bible Class hour).
“The Art of Marriage” is a six-session, video-based Bible study developed by FamilyLife to help couples explore deeper levels of intimacy, communication, and spiritual connection. Each session is creatively presented using a mix of spoken word poetry, animations, devotionals, and group discussions, making the content engaging and accessible. The curriculum is rooted in biblical principles and aims to portray marriage as a divine masterpiece, reflecting God's design and purpose. By integrating multimedia elements and authentic stories from marriage mentors, the program ensures that couples feel understood and equipped to apply God's love in their relationships immediately. The overarching goal is to inspire couples to create a better story for their marriage, grounded in faith and mutual commitment.

“How do you read it?” The Necessity of Reading Scripture in Community
REGISTER HERE »
Luke 10:25–28, Deut 6:4–7
We live in a world of sides, labels, and lines in the sand. These divisions don’t just shape culture; they shape us.
They shape our relationships.
They shape our churches.
They even shape how we read the Bible.
At this year’s Spring Men’s Retreat, we’ll confront the hidden “silos” that influence our faith and assumptions. Through engaging Scripture studies and discussion, we’ll rethink how we study Scripture and how we engage with others who see things differently. Come ready to be challenged, encouraged, and spiritually sharpened.
Special guest speaker: Rob Kranz
