Weekly Update

Sunday Mornings at WPC
8:15 am - Chapel Service
9:30 am - Christian Education for all ages
10:30 am - Sanctuary Service
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!

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.

Cookbooks are $25, and all proceeds go to WPC's Feed My Sheep program.

" He is Precentor and Director of College Music at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, and studied at Oxford and The Royal Academy of Music.

Lunch & Learn with Rabbi Ed 

Join us for lunch and a learning opportunity with Rabbi Ed Rosenthal on March 2nd at 11:30am. Rabbi Ed will share his mission to change how we view single-use plastics and other ocean pollutants. Through his spiritual beliefs, his goal is to instill a deep appreciation for our interconnectedness with the water and all the life it sustains.

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.
