Thank you Bella!

Did you know you don’t have to attend our Stitch Unto Others Knitting & Crochet gatherings to participate in our knitting ministry? Bella is at school during their gatherings but still made over 40 hats for them at home which will go to Spanish Health Ministry! Contact Carol Edwards to learn more about Stitch Unto Others. 


Westminster Launches a New Website!

We’re thrilled to share with you the good news that Westminster launched a refreshed website! Here’s a screenshot of the new home page. Our hope is that it is more user friendly and easier to navigate especially for those viewing worship at home. You’ll also find time sensitive notifications like snow closings on the top blue banner. Take a look around and let Director of Communications, Lynn George know if you have any questions.

New Journey Class: Traveling with God

10:45 am Sundays, September 8-29 • Spellman Jr & Zoom
The Bible offers countless examples of ordinary people who set out on journeys with God. Sometimes, it happens after a divine invitation and sometimes when the individual has no idea they are following God’s path. Thankfully, God leads and comes along for both! Led by John Willingham a retired Presbyterian Pastor, this 4-week class will draw from Scriptural examples of everyday individuals who set out with God as a way of encouragement and inspiration for us when we do the same. Click here to attend via Zoom.
