This Week At Westminster

Prayer List




Friends,


This Lenten season we are exploring questions that deepen our faith, that help us foster deeper relationships with God and with one another, and our planet.


Hope you join us on this journey of healing, transformation, and renewal!



Today I invite you to reflect on this question:


What makes you weary?


God, is there truth embedded in my weariness? Is there something for me to learn from the exhaustion that knows my name? Show me how to be gentle with myself. Show me how to sift through my weariness, and how to lift my eyes when the yoke is heavy, so that I can find you in my midst. Amen.


~ Prayer by Rev. Sarah A. Speed | A Sanctified Art LLC | sanctifiedart.org




This week we pray for:



Tom and Catherine Graves

Prayers for Tom and Catherine as they settle into their new home. You may reach them at their new address:

939 Portage Road, Villa J

Wooster, Ohio 44691


Sue Coleman

Continued prayers for healing for Sue who broke her wrist this past week..


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

  • Those who are grappling with illness of mind and body, with difficult life circumstances;
  • All who face danger, deal with hunger and homelessness, live amidst violence and chaos, fight trauma and other issues in our community and around the world; today especially pray for those who lost loved ones in the Nashville school shooting;
  • Gratitude for our Westminster team who prepared and served dinner at the Salvation Army Severe Weather Shelter on Monday.
  • and for those who created and delivered these lovely bags full of nourishment for all in our Westminster family.

Thanks to Sherry, Cheryl and Candy (not present) for creating these bags - signs of love and care and hope for our community.

Nourishment for the body & symbol of new growth... new life

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!
