Care and Support in the Community
God calls the church to be an agent of healing and support for those going through crises or need.
As a church we seek not only to reach our church family but also to act as an extension of God's love and care
to those within our community of Westhill, Kingswells and Skene, whether they are church folks or not.
These are the ways we currently provide care and support:

Prayer SupportAs part of our commitment to all who live in this area, we undertake to pray for any prayer request that you may have - for youself, for your loved ones or for the wider world. There are two ways you can get in touch: firstly online, by sending us your prayer request (click on the button below), and secondly by filling in a Prayer Request card in the foyer of the Church and popping it in the Prayer Request Box. Nothing is too big or small for God so why not give it a try? Prayer requests are included in our prayers in Church during Sunday morning services. Personal details are kept confidential.

Wellbeing SupportEvery Monday from 1-3pm we have our Oasis Wellbeing Café. It is a café style space where you can come and be yourself, be renewed and feel refreshed and experience peace, welcome and friendship while participating in table top activities, hobbies, crafts or “just being present”. Free refreshments are available and there is a quiet area for contemplation, thought and prayer.
Support for the BereavedThe death of someone close to you can be one of the most painful experiences you could ever suffer. Our Bereavement page provides information to help guide you through this difficult and sad time.
There you will also find details of a 7 week course run by WCC called The Bereavement Journey; it is designed to help people to understand and begin to see a way forward in their grief.
