Sixth Annual Steadfast Neighbor
The week of June 22-26, 2026
As Coordinator for our Steadfast Neighbor Service Week, it gives me great pleasure to report that 2025 Service Week was another fabulous week. This group of amazing ministry partners worked together to beautify our surrounding community and glorify God in the process.
Statistics:
65 That’s the number of ministry partners who participated in this years’ Service Week
31 The number of projects we completed, including removing furniture from the Youth Room, creating flowerpots for our neighbors, and painting the Little Pantry and the “Cool Us” Book Exchange.
6 The number of teams who got the work done, led by our wonderful team leaders Tim Kluge, Tom Owen, Julie Robbs, Dale Rogers, Pete Van Gieson, and Gary Warnick.
104 The average heat index this week. It was hot!
0 The number of afternoons we worked. We were able to finish our work by working only in the mornings! That should be our new model moving forward.
4 The number of days worked. We didn’t have to work on Friday! I told you this was an amazing group!
225 The number of delicious lunches that Pat and Al Hymans and their incredible Hospitality Team cooked up for us this week.
1 The number of rented golf carts that were stolen from the church.
1 The number of stolen golf carts recovered, thanks to the Capler family!
100 The percent effort given by these amazing people this week.
Uncountable: The number of blessings bestowed on this incredible congregation and the community!!
Thank you for your continued support of the Steadfast Neighbor Endeavor. Many Thanks to all of the incredible ministry partners and neighbors who made this possible. We are called to love our neighbors as ourselves, and that’s exactly what we did!
We appreciate the gifts of coordination, time, skill, labor, and love by so many, as it was, indeed, a beautiful week in the neighborhood!

When Westminster’s Strategic Planning initiative began to take form in 2019, the committee chose the name Steadfast Neighbor Endeavor because it articulates what we believe about God and affirms our commitment to the neighborhood. From 2020 to 2030 Westminster plans to invest $450,000 in the neighborhood which is one-third of the total cost of our Site and Landscape Plan.
