This Week At Westminster

Prayer List


“May your work never weary you.

May you be present in what you do.

May you never become lost in the bland absences.

May the day never burden you.

May dawn find you awake and alert, approaching your new day with dreams, possibilities and promises.

May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.

May you go into the night blessed, sheltered and protected.”


*John O'Donohue



This week we pray for:



Debbie Hostettler

Prayers of strength and comfort for Debbie and her family as Debbie continues her chemo treatment for a recurrence of cancer. We pray for guidance and wisdom for the doctors and medical staff who will oversee this process.


Marty and David Moldstad

Continued prayers for peace and comfort for the family and friends of our long-time and beloved members Marty and David. We especially pray for daughters Peggy, Carol, and Pam, and son Frank. A memorial service for Marty and David will be held at Westminster Church on Saturday, June 25 at 2pm.


Otis Whitmore

Continued prayers for Otis who is recovering from a number of health issues and is presently at a skilled nursing facility in Wadsworth, OH.



We offer prayers of gratitude and thanksgiving for the beautiful partnerships we share with neighbors in Mackey Hall. Today we especially lift Troop 61 & Nursery School as scout Devin Carroll begins his Eagle Award project - to create a pollinating garden and refresh a play area for the children from the Nursery School. Blessings on the project!


We pray for those who grieve loved ones and losses hard to describe; for everyone who is uncertain about their future and what the next best step may be; for those who struggle with illness, treatments, and life transitions. 


We pray for those caught up in warfare and violence - in Ukraine, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Yemen, Iraq and many other places; the many people around the world seeking asylum, help, and care.


We pray for wisdom and patience so that all will continue to do the right thing to protect the wellbeing of our communities.

Centering Prayer


We invite you to join the last session in the series Introduction to the Practice of Centering Prayer led by Joel Chupp on Tuesday, May 3 at 6pm.


Contemplative prayer is a form of spiritual practice that has the power to take us beyond the surface of our ego-centric minds to a whole new level of interior consciousness and awareness, having the power to transform our daily lives and routines. 


All students, faculty, and staff and community members are welcome!

Public Health Safety Update


At its March 29th meeting, the WPC Session decided to update our safety protocols as follows:

  • Westminster Church will be following the Mask Optional guidelines that are now in place with the College of Wooster. 
  • We will continue to encourage respect for all members in our community. People have a wide variety of needs, experiences and concerns. Anyone who wishes to mask will be supported in doing so - at any place and time.
  • Safe health practices are encouraged. 
 
Changes to health policies and procedures began on March 30, 2022. Committees will begin working on new protocols in order to move forward. 

We continue to monitor the situation, and will adjust our guidelines as needed.

Thank you for your understanding and support to keep all of us safe.

Prayer Request and Privacy Laws

Please note, that because of government privacy laws, hospitals and care centers no longer are allowed to notify churches that a person has been admitted (even if the person lists their home church at admission). The only way that the church staff will know if someone is hospitalized is if a family member or friend lets us know. We'd rather get 20 calls about the same person than none! Thanks for your help in making Westminster a caring community. Contact the Westminster Office by phone 330-263-2398 or email to notify the church if you or someone you know is hospitalized or otherwise in need of our prayers!
