Dear Westside Family:
As you all know, we are living in an unprecedented time. Daily changes in the evolving COVID-19 is shifting our usual routine.
As local and state leaders issue new orders and policies around COVID-19, it is important to understand the details and do our best to adhere to their instructions and recommendations and as mentioned on Sunday, Westside fully intends to comply with any mandates.
Recently, the Governor of California and the County of San Mateo issued a Shelter in Place order and recommends no group gatherings over 10 people. Similarly, Gavin Newsom also requested for individuals aged 65 and older to stay at home. Social distancing has proven to be very effective against the novel coronavirus. Until a vaccine is available, we must take these steps to help “flatten the curve” of infection growth.
With that being said, Westside will not hold worship service or bible classes IN-PERSON until the order is lifted (please do not come to the building). In the interim, we will have worship service and Wednesday night bible classes virtually. To login using video conference or dial in by phone, please follow the information below which outlines the action plan for the next few weeks:
