Prayer List

O God, grant us insight and wisdom--wisdom that comes from you, wisdom that comes from creation, and wisdom that comes from each other. Guide us, lead us, teach us your wisdom as we struggle to find the path of life. We take in a deep breath of your grace and exhale your love. Amen.

~ prayer by Dr. Bill Brown, before his lecture on Biblical Dialogue, June 29, 2023, Montreat

This week we pray for:

Dave Noble

Continued prayers for strength and comfort for Dave who is receiving his last radiation treatment tomorrow; we pray also for Gayle as she offers support and care to Dave.

Jim Collier

Continued prayers for smooth recovery following hip replacement surgery; prayers also for Janelle as she cares for Jim.

Lucy Ewing, Erica Ewing's mom

Continued prayers for healing for Lucy, who is recovering from a hip surgery.

Deb Hostettler

Continued prayers for Deb, who is hoping to regain her appetite and energy following an adjustment in her medication to reduce side effects.

Barbara Mykkanen

Continued prayers for Barb as she participates in a study to help others with similar cancer diagnosis.

We pray for

• all those struggling with stressful situations that weary the heart;
• those facing ongoing recovery, pain management, and health issues; 
• rest, time of replenishment with family, friends, in nature;
• those facing continued violence and unrest, especially in Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, and France;
• those who seek asylum from political violence and a better life from economic oppression across the world;
• peace in the streets and healing for those suffering from gun violence, so that our nation values life more than gun access;
• leaders to enact policies locally and globally that protect the wellbeing of all creation;
• for the children and activity leaders at the Open Arms Summer.

May the fruit of the Spirit guide our hearts and minds in service and worship, bound together in love!

Westminster Compassion Camp 2023

We had much fun in learning about compassion in the past two years... and we are getting ready for a new season. This year we will explore "what every living thing needs." To learn more and find the registration form, check out our Westminster website.

If you are interested in helping or you know someone who'd like to attend the camp, contact the Church Office or Pastor Enikö.

This is a wonderful opportunity to invite a friend or neighbor!

13th Annual Break the Cycle

Westminster will once again sponsor a Break the Cycle biking and walking team in support of OneEighty on Saturday, August 26.  Last year we fielded a team of 14 bikers and walkers. This year our church's donation will support treatment and prevention services for the homeless working with OneEighty. Walkers and bikers can choose to begin their walk or ride at the fairgrounds in Wooster or at the Hipp Station in Millersburg. 

If you would like to bike or walk with our Westminster Team, please complete a registration form and return it to Lemoine Peart at church or to her mailbox in the church office. Registration forms are available in Mackey Hall, the church office or from any Benevolences Committee member. There is no cost to participate if you turn in your paper registration and release forms at church.  

If you sign up by Sunday, July 30, you will receive a free Break the Cycle T-shirt on the day of the event.  For more information check out the Break the Cycle website or email or call Lemoine at lwmn@bright.net or 330-624-7506 (home). 

Hope to see you there!
