We are starting early to enable the two organizations we are
working with, Starting Point and Lutheran Social Services,
to have the time to get the gifts to the children by Christmas.
Keep the red ribbon or gold thread attached to the
ornament when securing it to the unwrapped gift; it denotes which
charity it goes to!
Please return your gifts by Sunday, December 10, 2023!
Some of us this year need a more quiet and contemplative service
to care for ourselves and others who are grieving or struggling,
while it seems that the rest of the world is caught up in
celebrating.
Westminster will hold a Blue Christmas service in the
Sanctuary on Friday, December 15, at 6 pm to honor those
we have lost. The service will also be livestreamed.
On Sunday, December 24, 2023 we will have a single service at 10
a.m. in the Sanctuary to celebrate Advent. Our service will be
enhanced with the Praise Band, Handbell and Chancel Choirs.
The 7 p.m. service in the Sanctuary on December 24 will be filled
with congregational carols, Christmas choral pieces, and a
meditation shorter than a typical sermon. It will culminate in
candle lighting throughout the sanctuary. We will provide
battery-powered safe lights for anyone who does not want to hold
a lighted candle.
On Sunday, December 31, 2023 we will have a single service at 10
a.m. in the Sanctuary to celebrate the first Sunday of Christmas.
Our service will be enhanced with both the Praise Band and
Chancel Choir.
