Westies Thegither Groups

The Board of Deacons would like to invite you to participate in a form of koinonia through a fellowship opportunity - Westies Thegither Groups. The formation of these groups is to help facilitate fellowship in a more random fashion than demographics or Sunday morning geography. Registration for these groups will be open throughout the month of April. Groups of eight will be randomly assigned. Then after these groups are formed, with leadership from a designated host, groups will find a date and time to gather for food and fellowship at least twice during the next few months. All are welcome at the table so let's gather together. Past participants need to re-register for this May's Thegither groups.

Dr. Temple Grandin:
'Autism: The Way I See It'

Join us for this special event at WPC featuring Dr. Temple Grandin!
Dr. Temple Grandin, a world-renowned autism spokesperson, scientist, and inventor, has served as an inspiration and role model to hundreds of thousands of families and persons with autism. In this unique presentation, Temple eloquently and candidly describes the challenges she has faced and offers glimpses into her own childhood, with ideas on how others dealing with autism can meet these obstacles and improve the quality of their lives. Backed by her personal experience and evidence-based research, Temple shares her valuable insights on all types of thinkers, why they are important, and ways in which young people can continue to think about and understand what it means to be innovative.

Join us for an exciting adventure where we'll discover that God is with us wherever we go! From June 2-5, 2025, from 9:30 AM to Noon, we'll embark on a journey based on Joshua 1:9 "The LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

This fun-filled week will include singing, crafts, games, snacks, and science experiments, all designed to help children explore new places, make new friends, and experience God's goodness together. Led by the Navigator and an adventurous puppet Scout, kids will delve into timeless tales of faith from the Old and New Testaments, learning that God is always with them. Don't miss out on this amazing journey! Pack your bags and let's hit the road with God!

WPC Youth Sunday

May 4th, 2025 @ 10:30 AM - The youth will lead the 10:30 service acting as liturgists, ushers, candlelighters and even sermon givers! Our talented young musicians will also be performing, so it promises to be one amazing Sunday!  

Meals On Wheels

WPC Meals on Wheels needs men and women volunteers to help prepare meals or to deliver meals. In addition, substitute volunteers are needed. The commitment is once a month on Tuesday morning or Thursday morning. Please contact Judy Hamra at (405) 642-3974 or jbode253@gmail.com for further details.  

Communion at Home 

All are welcome at Christ’s table, and if you cannot make it to church we will bring Christ’s table to you. The WPC Deacons provide an extension of the table to those unable to gather at church for communion when homebound, in the nursing home, hospital, or for any reason. Let us know if you are in need of this service here, or by calling the church. 

Youth Nights

On the first Wednesday of every month from 6-8pm we will gather for WPC Youth Nights! Come hang with Amber and Scott and enjoy a night full of fun and fellowship.
Dinner is provided.

Burnt Offerings 

Westminster's 2024 Cookbook

We called this book Burnt Offerings because a) it sounds hilarious and b) that’s the way the Bible talks of our sacrifices of praise to God. God has built us for community. We are not meant to be alone. We hope this cookbook helps us get one step closer to the beloved community we’ve been called to be.  
-landon
Cookbooks are $25, and all proceeds go to WPC's Feed My Sheep program.

Faith & Grief Workshop 

We are hosting another Faith and Grief workshops this summer. This workshop gives participants the space to share their story and their faith, and to find the comfort in fellowship and the presence and connection of community. Participant Fee is $99. Class dates TBA.
As hoped for (and anticipated!), congregational giving was very strong in December and has allowed Westminster to end 2024 in a good financial position. Due to inflationary pressures, your faithfulness and generosity (combined with staff diligence) allowed us to absorb those cost increases and not negatively impact the ministry and mission we are called by God to pursue.
Well done, WPC!

Stack of Stones

Quarterly Newsletter for Westminster Presbyterian Church

Several times in the Bible, the people of God practiced stacking stones on top of one another as a reminder of how God blessed them and made their lives whole. This newsletter serves a similar purpose for Westminster as we chronicle the year and provide testimony to God's faithfulness.
