1/11/26:  O Frabjous Day!  Rev. Carol Bodeau
This month, we take a sometimes silly and sometimes serious look at the power of language.  Starting with Louis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky," we can explore how even the most nonsensical of language can have a lasting impact on readers and listeners, and help to shape culture.

1/18/26: Names and Neighborliness Ryan Moyers
When you first came to Westside, one of the first things that was probably asked of you is your name. Someone may have asked if you'd like a name tag made. In this talk we will explore the significance and importance of names in our lives, and how they help us foster connection in our communities.

1/25/26: To Call and Be Called  Rev. Carol Bodeau 
As we explore the power of words and language, this week we look at what it means to "call" ourselves or another person.  What does it mean to 'call out' or 'call in'? What does it matter what name or pronoun you 'call' someone by'?  And why do we call a profound spiritual or vocational impulse a 'calling'?  Let's talk about how the concept of 'calling' one another reverberates with deep and lasting impacts. 

2/1/26:  We Are All In Tune:  Auction Sunday  Rev. Carol Bodeau 
Let's celebrate our Westside community, and the ways we harmonize with one another when work together.  This music-focused service gives us a chance to begin the auction celebration during our worship time, and have some musical fun while building up some momentum for our annual Auction party.
