Just like Westwind, New Heights’ will have their own group of young children to care for on Sundays. To help them get started, we are putting together a toy/baby gear collection. If you have baby gear from previous children which you would like to donate towards New Heights’ nursery, please plan on bringing it to our Celebration service on February 12th or 19th.

Here is a list of their needs:

Diaper changing supplies:

• changing pad
• wax paper (barrier between pad and child)
• disposable gloves
• baby wipes
• disinfectant wipes to clean pad
• hand sanitizer
• garbage bags/small garbage can with a lid
• small air freshener spray
• spare diapers

1 Pack-n-Play

• a couple waterproof pads
• sheets to keep it clean

Bouncy Seats

1 Boppy Pillow with a blanket to lay on.

Extra Blankets for babies to lay on (don’t have to be baby blankets)

Fold-up exersaucer (for example: ExerSaucer® Triple Fun™ Active Learning Center™, Jungle)

On Sunday, February 5, New Heights Church will be taking over the service. In June of 2011, Westwind decided to plant a church in Warren County (find out more here). Since then, Pastors Geoff and Kevin have been working hard to get ready for the April 8, Easter Sunday, launch!

Westwind will be hosting New Heights on February 5, giving them the entire celebration service as they share their vision and their talents with us. It will be a great time to unify our two worshipping communities together!

We are excited to announce DB Antrim as our new Family Pastor starting on Sunday, January 1, 2012. Born in Washington and eventually making his way to Iowa after living in 6 other states, DB has been involved in student and family ministry for 20 plus years. His senior year of high school DB started as Youth Coordinator of his church and his passion for student ministry has only grown since then. Launching new programs, leading mission, leadership, and high adventure trips, and most recently being a Junior and Senior High Student Minister, itʼs easy to see that DB has a heart for todayʼs youth. He obtained his Associates Degree in Elementary Education through Georgia State and graduated from Moody Bible Institute with his Bachelors in Education, with a Youth Ministry Emphasis. DB enjoys spending time with his wife, Allison, and their two sons. You can usually find them all outdoors, disc golfing, camping or hiking together.
