Call to Worship and Opening Prayer
Please stand with me as we read the Call to Worship
Leader: I will extol the Lord at all times
his praise will always be on my lips.
People: I will glory in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Leader: Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.
People: Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Leader: Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
People: keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies.
All: The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry.

Message
Reading and examining the Bible under the guidance of the preacher.
“Faith Listens”
BIBLE READING: James 1:19-21 (NIV)
Listening and Doing
19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
James 1:22 (NIV)
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

Welcome to Community West Church!
Dear Friends,
We believe the church is a special community of people joined by their hope in Jesus Christ. We know this hope has not always been apparent to those who have been hurt by church, or for whom church seems unnecessary or irrelevant. However, we believe everybody needs a community to which to belong, and we hope you will find our community a trusted context to continue your spiritual journey.
Protecting Our Children and Youth:
To ensure a safe and secure environment for our children and youth, Community West Church requires adult volunteers who wish to serve these populations must participate in the church for a minimum of six months, pass a “Proud to Protect” online course in recognizing and reporting child abuse, and pass a background check. Youth volunteers who serve our children are required to take a certification training facilitated by the Director of Family Ministries. A complete copy of our Child Protection Plan is available upon request.
CELEBRATE - Commit to our weekly Sunday Gathering.
Our Sunday service is a time for us to be reminded of God’s love and forgiveness, and to respond with our worship, obedience, and trust. we intend our service to be uplifting, hones, participatory, multi-sensory, biblically-based, and gospel-centered.
CONNECT - Commit to a Home Group.
Smaller groups are where the best of life happens at Community West. All small groups are built on three pillars: growing in God’s word, developing authentic friendships, and serving and getting involved in outreach.
CONTRIBUTE - Join a Sunday team and give financially.
None of us begins to belong to a community until we have a chance to share what we have to give. We invite you to share your time, by serving on a Sunday team, and your gifts by giving financially to the mission of the church.
