You read that right – there’s ANOTHER hot dog cookout & youth fundraiser on Sunday, Aug. 19. This is the youth’s thank you to the congregation for all of the well wishes, prayers, and contributions that made this July’s mission trip to Chiloquin, Oregon a success. It will also be a kick-start to fundraising for next year’s trip (location TBD).
So join us in the courtyard after the 11 a.m. service. No cost to attend…a goodwill donation basket will be available at the BBQ. Hope to see you all there!

How does God relate to all creation? Can God be influenced? Have you ever argued with God? These are some of the questions we’re going to explore during the upcoming Kerygma Bible Study “Knowing God.” Join us on a wonderful journey of study and discussions to increase our knowledge and appreciation of God’s faithfulness to us. This time together will enrich, nurture and renew our faith journey.

Why this policy?
The purpose of this policy is to create a safe environment, free of abuse of any kind, in which our youth, along with adults, may learn about and worship God.
Here at Westminster, we take great pride in our commitment to promoting peace & justice throughout the world, and our kids are no exception!
This past winter, Sunday school teachers invited the children to raise a little money to purchase some chickens for a family in need (a $25 item). But the kids wanted to do more, and set their eyes on a cow–a $450 item!
So the fundraising began–and even the older middle & high school students got in on the action! Bake sales, See’s candy, weekly moment’s for mission, and more…everyone wanted to help.
Westminster is a welcoming, inclusive community of faith, following Christ’s example by supporting spiritual growth, serving others, and promoting peace and justice.
The Westminster community is invited to send in prayer requests. Your request will be emailed to our prayer chain leader and prayed upon by our Prayer Chain members.
