At last! Good news in 2020! Westminster's Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) is bursting with excitement to share big news. Soon the PNC will announce its nomination for Westminster's next senior pastor. The PNC felt your prayers and was inspired by your well-wishes over the past two years. The pool of candidates was extraordinarily talented. The members of the PNC feel strongly that we have found the person God has called to lead us into the future; a future that will be forever changed by the events of 2020. All the members of the PNC are feeling joy, excitement, and hope. We can't wait for you to meet our nominee! Save the date! Mark your calendar for November 1, 2020, when we will be able to reveal our nominee during the 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. in person and livestream worship services. More details will follow regarding how to watch the candidate sermon, how to find out more about our nominee, and how to vote. We understand you may have questions. The PNC is committed to making sure you have answers. Don't hesitate to reach out to any of us and we will do our best to help. You may email an individual member of the PNC by clicking on their name below or email the group at pnc-all@westminster-church.org. Ours is a God of hope and the future looks bright.

But we have continued to let our light shine through the ministry of the church, made possible by the continued generosity and commitment of our members.

Please prayerfully consider how much of what God has given you can be returned to Westminster to support our ministry for the glory of God. Bring your completed pledge card to church on Sunday, October 25, mail it to the church, or submit your pledge online. Thank you for your continued support of Westminster. Let your light shine!

Volunteer Opportunity Closet Inventory and Organization Project Help is needed to inventory the closets and storage areas in the church. With the guidance of those who “have ownership” of these areas, we will donate or discard things no longer useful. The schedule is completely flexible and based on the time and availability of the volunteer. You can help one time or more. We will work in pairs, socially distanced and wearing masks. Read more or contact Jan Baumann.

Looking Ahead Due to the COVID-19 virus there will be no Rummage-Recycling sale this November.
