This Week At Westminster

Prayer List



O Great Love,

thank you for living and loving in us and through us.


May all that we do flow from our deep connection with you and all beings. Help us become a community that vulnerably shares each other’s burdens and the weight of glory. Listen to our hearts’ longings for the healing of our world.


Knowing you are hearing us better than we are speaking, we offer these prayers in all the holy names of God. Amen. 


~ Richard Rohr

We pray for

  • all those struggling with stressful situations that weary the heart;
  • those dealing with decline and uncertainty;
  • those affected by the violence in Ukraine, Sudan, Serbia, and across this nation;
  • all College of Wooster students who are preparing for exams this week; prayers for wisdom and guidance for students and teachers;
  • God’s steadfast love and guidance with all the transitions that we face;
  • God’s light to lead the way toward love, peace, and harmony for all.


Trusting in God's presence and life-giving love, may we seek ways to share God's light as we journey through the week.

It is a wonderful way to experience God's presence and deepen our connection with creation.


Bring a friend along! Hope to see you on the trail next Sunday!

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!
