A Message from Pastor Ann

My heart is full of gratitude as I remember my last Sunday at Westminster. Words alone cannot adequately express my deep appreciation for the beautiful service and reception you held for me on Sunday, February 23. It was a wonderful culmination of my 14 years of ministry with you.

Thank you to everyone who made the one combined worship service possible. I am grateful for everyone’s contribution. From music and prayers to sermon and benediction, it was a very moving and meaningful service.

Thank you also for the reception in Spellman Hall following the service. The food, decorations, and gracious hospitality were amazing. I am so grateful to everyone who planned, organized,  and worked to make this such a lovely and memorable celebration!

I’m also thankful for the collection of retirement cards, along with the gardening tools and basket full of produce and seeds. I look forward to many enjoyable hours in the garden this spring! And many thanks for the EXTREMELY generous financial gift. Your kind and thoughtful contributions to this gift will enable Jim and me to enjoy some traveling later this year. Thank you!

It was a great joy serving in ministry at Westminster. I have had the privilege of working with a fabulous staff and amazing church family. I pray you continue to know Christ and make Christ known as you faithfully witness to God’s love in all you say and do. You are such a blessing to me, the community, the world, and one another!
