West Church is a large church with many members and as such there are many different interests. The following details some of the activities for you to become involved in.
Pastoral Care Groups
Carers’ Group
In West we have many people who are responsible for the wellbeing of others in their role as a carer. This can be a challenging and tiresome task and at times it is good to share the experience with others who have the same responsibilities. Our Carers’ Group provides such a place and is somewhere to discuss with others and to obtain information.

Banner Group
You may have seen the beautiful banners that make the premises in West look special. This is the group that prodcues all of these banners which provides an opportunity for ladies interested in sewing to meet for fellowship, coffee and the challenge of designing and sewing banners and other items which beautify the sanctuary and bring glory to God.
You do not need to be skilled in sewing – we use the simplest of stitches. If you are interested you may come regularly, when you can or for part of the time if that is all you can manage. You will be very welcome.
When
Each Wednesday at 10:30am in the Committee Room.
Who
To find out more contact Roberta Hagan through the Church Office on 028 9145 9688.
3C’s
The first question people normally ask is what are the 3C’s?
- Coffee
- Chat
- Craft
This is a very friendly group of ladies who meet each week to enjoy all 3 of the above. They have worked very hard to help others knitting many items such as teddies, hats for seamen and their most recent success, Twiddlemuffs. The latter has been a real blessing to those suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s and have been distributed widely.
The group is open to everyone and we would love to see you.
When
Each Tuesday at 7:00pm and Wednesday at 2:00pm in the Committee Room.
