Isaac Hostetler

We pray for all who are affected by extreme weather conditions: by an extreme heatwave in the northwest of the country; by hurricane Elsa in the Caribbean and Florida.

We continue to pray for those who grieve, struggle and suffer because of COVID-19 as many nations fight new surges.

We also pray for the people struggling for freedom, peace and justice; for places torn by conflict, famine and violence. Today we especially pray for the people of Haiti following the assassination of president Jovenel Moïse.

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!
