Your first time at Westlake?
A
warm welcome to you! We’re glad that you would like to visit our church
and we’d like to make it as easy for you as possible.
Location
Westlake's Nyon congregation meets right in the center of Nyon, just two minutes
walk from the train station. The address is Rue Juste Olivier 6, and you
can find us on the North side of this east-west one-way street. If
you’re coming by car, there’s a large open air car-park just a few
minutes away in the direction towards the lake. Please
click here for a map. Our Lausanne congregation meets in the area of Lausanne. For more details on venue, please click here.
Service
Our service starts at 10:30 a.m. in Lausanne and 5:00 p.m. in Nyon. As you walk in the front door,
greeters will be there to answer any of your questions and to hand you a
weekly “bulletin” with lots of information, announcements, and requests
for prayer. We begin our service with about 30 minutes of worship and
prayer, then we delve into the word of God. Both our morning and evening services usually last for one and a half hours.
Children
Both congregations have a “crèche” (which is French for nursery) for toddlers between
the ages of 1 to 3 years old. There are also Sunday school classes
for kids from 3 to 10 years old and a youth program for your teens
between the ages of 11 to 18. Usually, kids and teens stay in the
service for the “family” worship time, and then go to their classes.
We understand what it’s like to move to a new area – and the settling in process can often be daunting and especially so if you don’t speak the local language. Actually, because of our proximity to the greater Geneva area and its many international organizations, there are quite a few people attending Westlake who have already been in your shoes. Families are relocated to our area from the US, the UK, Australia, Africa…just about anywhere really, for assignments lasting up to three years and sometimes longer.
We invite you to have a look at different websites to get some helpful information about Switzerland and the area, which may hopefully help you to settle down. For the Geneva and Nyon area: http://www.geneve.ch/welcome_en.html, http://geneva.angloinfo.com/, http://www.iwcn.ch/, http://www.glocals.com/, http://www.worldradio.ch/index.shtml, and for the Lausanne area: http://www.aiwc-lausanne.org/2008/. The administration of Westlake can help you in giving some information on some aspects as well.
It’s
that easy! We do hope that you’ll decide to check us out and see for
yourself what Westlake Church is all about. In the meantime, if you have
further questions before you come to visit us, please send an email to info@westlakechurch.com and we will be happy to help you. Thank you. |
