Advent & Christmas Offerings 2020

November 20, 2020 by Westminster Presbyterian Church

Advent is Upon Us

Advent is the sacred season of waiting for the coming of the Christ-child. Usually it is marked by hopeful and joyous anticipation and often filled with candle-light and carols. But this year, much feels different.

WPC has created an array of activities available during this Advent season. If you would like to attend any in-person events, we ask that you please RSVP through SignUpGenius. We will be practicing social distancing with a cap of 25 people as well as wearing masks. If you have any additional questions, please call the church office or email Ashley at .

Stories of Our Faith

October 16, 2020 by Westminster Presbyterian Church

While you stay at home in an effort to curb the spread of the Coronavirus, our church school offering for our youngest disciples has begun and is geared towards children preschool age through kindergarten, but fun for any age! Begin with a time to sing and move with Ms. Megan, following a story from their special Bible told by Pastor Lynne, Ms. Carolyn, Ms. Lucy and sometimes includes a fun craft from Ms. Penny! This pre-recorded lesson will be available on Sunday mornings through a link included in the worship email. Parents are invited to choose a time that best suits them and their child to watch together. We hope you’ll find hopeful and comforting messages, worship, and music in the videos below.  We are the church still, safely sequestered in our homes.

With Grateful Hearts

October 14, 2020 by Westminster Presbyterian Church

Our stewardship theme this year reflects our joyful response to God’s many blessings and steadfast love for us.  God greatly blesses us even in times of challenge and change from what was once familiar to a future that is not yet entirely clear to us.  Yet we know that God’s grace will lead and comfort us throughout the journey.  How can we help but respond with grateful hearts to share God’s love with each other and those in our community and the world?

Worship

October 14, 2020 by Westminster Presbyterian Church

Your pledge to Westminster supports our pastors who preach the Word of God, lead, teach and empower us to serve Christ.  This stimulates us to grow as disciples and share God’s love.  In response to the recent pandemic, your support has allowed us to provide regular worship services online and reach new worshippers seeking spiritual guidance during these challenging times.  The church continues to welcome visitors and new members, while many church members assist with the worship services.  Your generosity will enable us to return to worshipping in a well-maintained and welcoming sanctuary once it is safe to do so.
