2024 Annual Report
Westminster Planning Meeting
You are invited to attend a meeting after service on March 30, 2025 to learn more about the Westminster draft plan 2025 – 2027 and to provide your input and support.
Please attend and let us know your thoughts. Coffee, Tea, Juice and muffins/scones will be served. We anticipate the meeting being about 1 hour in length.
To prepare for this meeting, some thoughts on Lent:
Rather than a time of “giving up” things, can we start to take on new things during Lent? Lent is a time to make change in our lives, sometimes by giving something up and also by looking to renew our faith. How do we renew our faith – by practicing prayer, using a devotion or joining a bible study and also through good works or deeds. Consider what you can do for your church, your community, your faith as we move into Lent. Consider that as far as good works or deeds – no work or deed is small.
Please join us for this meeting. Register here.
