It's not too late to help support the West Side Baptist Youth. They are holding two fundraisers this month. First one is a unique one of a kind West Side Baptist Church Christmas ornament seen below. This would be a great gift for one of our shut-ins or someone who may have attended our church in the past. Cost is $10. The ornament may be ordered by calling the church office anytime in December. Thank you for your support of our youth.![]()
