This Week at Westminster

We hope you will join us in worship this weekend as we celebrate the First Sunday of Lent.  We welcome Elder Sue Sawers, who will preach at the Saturday, March 8 worship service. The sermon title is "Mission and Distraction."
Dr. Kieffer will preach at both services on Sunday, March 9.  The sermon title is "Voices Along the Way." Both sermons are based on Lectionary readings Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7 and Matthew 4:1-11.  The Sacrament of Communion will be celebrated. (See Worship schedule).

A gathering for young adults is scheduled for this Friday, March 7, 5:30 -7:30 p.m. at Dr. Kieffer's home. (See details.) RSVP here. 

"Glory to God" Fund was approved by Session at their February meeting to purchase 550 new hymnals. Please consider a contribution to this fund by May 15 so that we can dedicate the hymnals on Pentecost Sunday. Members are invited to contribute one, ten or more hymnals in honor or memory of a loved one at the cost of $25 per book. Special bookplates will be prepared with your inscription. (See response card here).

Our senior high youth will host a "Flapjack Fundraiser" on Saturday, March 8 at Applebee's (on Veterans) in support of their mission trip to Brighton, Tennessee. (see details) RSVP here.
