Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) Update
The PNC continues to work towards its mission of finding Westminster's next leader. Thanks to Zoom, we meet at least once a week and continue to research and interview candidates for Westminster's senior pastor/head of staff position. There is much work we can do during the stay-at-home order and we are doing it. We are heartened by the caliber of candidates we have encountered so far. We have a long road ahead. The pandemic means we cannot see candidates in person right now. Like many of you, we are finding ways to keep working toward our goal. We accept that the pandemic may lengthen our search process. We humbly ask for your prayers for patience, perseverance, and wisdom in our effort. Recommending a person for you to call as our fifth senior pastor is a task we take seriously and we are committed to seeking God's will for our church during the challenging times of 2020.

Virtual Vacation Bible School
Children's & Family Ministry is so excited to announce that VBS
will be happening this
year! With one modification, though. Instead of you bringing your kids to VBS, we're bringing VBS to your kids.
This summer, beginning on June 22, we'll be using a quarantine-friendly VBS called BOLT. Your family will participate in fun games that illustrate what it means to listen to, focus on, and follow Jesus. Watch your email,
our website
, and
Facebook
for more information. In the meantime, get your family excited about BOLT Backyard VBS. This is going to be
so much fun
