Something powerful coming from something tiny? This seems like our kind of parable! Indeed it is the parable of the mustard seed and a really exciting and thought provoking worship service to go along with it! Grab your mustard-seed shakers, and get ready for music, poetry, scripture, meditation, reflections and gratitude, we've got it all recorded and ready to go from Sunday June 13th and we are so happy you are joining us for it! Thank You Judith Coker... Mary Elva Smith Don Evans Tom Haine Carol Lowe Pam Monroe David Pearson Sarah Robinson Pat Shank For sharing your talents this week! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7-BCFtG5UrM&t=925s

Our worship Sunday June 6th felt so perfectly Westminster! We had tons of poetry, tons of music, we had some babies, some kiddos, some dogs and lot's of laughter, conversation, questions, reflections, prayers and thanksgivings: All of the things that bring us together and make us a community! If you weren’t able to be there in person this that Sunday, or even if you were and you just want to check it out again, here is a video of our worship for you to take in and enjoy in th...e comfort of your own home! Thank you so much to: David Brauner Judith Coker Jill Hall Bill Hodgkiss Peggy Johnston (times two!) David Pearson Sarah Robinson Becky Wieder for sharing your talents with us this morning. And thank you to Pastor Megan for your thought provoking reflection, and thank you to all of you for making Westminster the incredible family it is! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lNIUNgZnx9M

I would rather be wrong and hope that peace is possible than be right and say that it is not. On this Peace Sunday Pastor Megan reminds us of the pacifist origins of our Christian tradition. And reminds us that year after year, we must commit and keep committing to the promise of peace. We have a star-studded worship today, Sarah Robinson lends her beautiful voice to our prelude, Ralph Johnson recites an inspiring poem, we have original music by David Brauner and a wonderf...ully original work of art by Hannah Creighton. Also, it is communion Sunday so grab your coffee and cherrios, or your oj and toast, or your grape juice and bread (If you are feeling fancy) and join us at our table! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BmqLJojGdYE

Our session voted unanimously to become a Matthew 25 church last night. What does that mean? Being a Matthew 25 Church means you are actively engaged in one or more of the following ministries: Building congregational vitality by challenging people and congregations to deepen their faith and get actively and joyfully engaged with their community and the world. Dismantling structural racism by advocating and acting to break down the systems, practices and thinkin...g that underlie discrimination, bias, prejudice and oppression of people of color. Eradicating systemic poverty by working to change laws, policies, plans and structures in our society that perpetuate economic exploitation of people who are poor. Stay tuned to see and be a part of the ways that we will continue to live out these commitments and callings! Want more info? https://www.presbyterianmission.org/ministries/matthew-25/

Welcome to Westminster: where art+faith+nature meet! We are seekers, creating a just and joyful community, where all have a place at God's table.... Your weekly serving of art+faith+nature right here for you.
