Join Our Gratitude Challenge

This Thanksgiving, our youth challenge you to a Gratitude Challenge. For seven days find one person, thing or experience of gratitude and document it. Post that image or journal entry on social media including #WPC7daychallenge or send it to Lynn George to share on Westminster's social media. At the end of the 7th day, contact three friends to challenge them to try it. Click here to learn more with 2.5 minute video from Chris Clark.

Be a Candle Lighter in Worship this Advent!

We are looking for Advent Candle Lighters during worship in Advent and Christmas Eve. You can do this as an individual, family or with a friend - the possibilities are plentiful! You will be provided with the instructions ahead of time as well as any readings if there are any, though it may simply be lighting the candle for that particular Sunday. Click here to signup. Questions? Contact Pastor Jon.

Order Your Poinsettia(s)

Once again we will adorn our sanctuary with poinsettia plants at Christmas. If you’d like to order a poinsettia plant in memory of or in honor of a loved one or friend, contact Barb Drain with your name and the dedication you would like listed in the bulletin. Cost is $10. Make checks payable to Westminster Presbyterian Church (with poinsettia on the memo line) and turn in to the church office. Session also encourages those who wish to contribute to the Endowment Fund in memory or honor of a loved one or friend to do so; names will also be listed.

Return Gifts for the Westminster's Giving Tree

New Journey Series! Heaven & Earth: Advent and the Incarnation

10:45 am December 3, 10, 17 & January 7 • Hybrid (Spellman Jr. & Zoom)

In his four-week DVD series, In Heaven and Earth: Advent and the Incarnation, Will Willimon introduces us to the God who brings heaven to earth and changes everything. God’s choice of incarnation allows us to reflect on the mystery that Christ is the full revelation of God instead of someone who talks about God or speaks for or acts as God. Through this study, led by Pastor Jennie, Pastor Leah and Ernie Kimmel, we will explore the paradox of Jesus as both fully human and fully divine. In Advent, we celebrate and anticipate the earth-shaking, life-transforming good news that God is coming to us. Watch out. Get ready. God is on the way. Click here to attend via Zoom. Questions? Contact Jennie Clark.

Recycle your Old or Broken Christmas Lights

As you start to decorate your home for the Christmas season and find old or broken lights, drop them off in a bin located in Spellman Hall or Café 10 West between December 3 and January 7. We will deliver the lights to a recycling location so they don't end up in a landfill. The lights will be broken down to recover their raw commodities, which can be used to create construction materials, electronics, and other items. Thank you so much for your participation!
