This Week At Westminster

Prayer List


This Sunday we celebrate World Communion Sunday--the rich diversity of God's Church across geography, culture and language. We remember that we are called to be God's agents of peace and healing...


Make me a channel of your peace. 

Where there is hatred let me bring your love.

Where there is injury, your pardon Lord, 

and where there is doubt true faith in you.


Make me a channel of your peace. 

Where there is despair in life let me bring hope.

Where there is darkness only light, 

and where there's sadness ever joy. 


*Based on St. Francis' prayer





This week we pray for:



David Gillespie

Prayers for comfort and peace for David. His surgery was postponed, and he is having a pacemaker put in on Friday, September 30.


Ferenc Relle

Prayers of thanksgiving for Ferenc's successful cataract surgery today. Ferenc is doing well.


Justin, friend of Dixie Harper

As Justin's health is failing, we pray for God to touch his heart and soul, give Justin comfort, peace, and a revelation of God's great love. 


Dorothy, Dawn Kridel's mother-in-law

Prayers for Dorothy and the family as they make arrangements for Dorothy to move into a skilled nursing facility.


Sherry Hatter-Miller's mom

Continued prayers for healing and peace for Sherry's mom, who is home from rehab. 


Barbara Mykkanen

Continued prayers for healing and comfort for Barb. She has one chemo treatment left. Prayers of gratitude for the good care Barb receives.


Deb Hostettler

Prayers for healing for Deb who had a melanoma spot removed from her leg today.


Jim and Janelle Collier

Prayers for peace, guidance and comfort for Jim and Janelle as they prepare to move to Texas to be closer to their family in November. Our love surrounds you during this bitter-sweet time of saying goodbyes and of anticipation of the next chapter in your journey. 


We pray for

  • those in the path of hurricanes and those who respond after the storms hit;
  • those discerning next steps and transitions, asking for clarity and peace of mind;
  • those in recovery and dealing with illness and pain;
  • caregivers and families navigating the care of loved ones;
  • God’s comfort for those who are disheartened and hurting;
  • God’s compassion to inspire us to be kind and patient;
  • God’s peace where violence and hostility breaks out, around the world, in our nation, and around wider community;


We pray that God’s beloved community to be lived and experienced here and now.

Changes to the Office Schedule


Friends, as we move forward to searching for our next Office Administrator, office hours may be irregular for the next few weeks. Pastor Enikö and the Personnel Committee are working on finding help in the meantime. 


If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Pastor Enikö via email or calling her cell phone (804) 426-9392. Monday will remain her day off.


Thank you for your patience and support during this time of transition!

Peace & Global Witness Offering 2022


The PCUSA Peace & Global Witness Offering enables the Church to promote the Peace of Christ by addressing systems of conflict and injustice across the world. We are collecting this offering through October 4 - World Communion Sunday. 


Individual congregations are encouraged to utilize up to 25% of this Offering to connect with the global witness of Christ's peace. The Westminster Benevolence Committee decided to support a clean water project in Jackson, MS coordinated by First Presbyterian Church in Jackson. Learn more about the Jackson initiative here.


To learn more about how Mid Councils and the Presbyterian Mission Agency advocate for peace and justice in cultures of violence, including our own, through collaborative projects of education and Christian witness, read here.


Hope you will support this important ministry of our denomination! Through your generosity, we embody our calling as ambassadors of peace.

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!
