"Pasta Night" Vegan Dinner!
We are hosting our second vegan dinner next Wednesday, "Pasta Night", being coordinated by Dawn Kridel.

The dinner will be inside as the weather gets colder and according to the updated safety protocol, when we are not actively eating or drinking, masks will be worn.

Flyers are being posted through-out the campus and we would appreciate your word of mouth as well so we reach as many students as possible.

Please consider helping us with either set-up, clean-up or food preparation by signing up here. Each food item needed is listed separately and the number of people needed.

Thank you for helping to make this another great meal for the COW students.
CAMO Change for November

With Thanksgiving on Thursday the 25th, CAMO will be on Wednesday, November 17th instead of November 24. Please adjust your calendars. Thank you.
Advent Small Group Dinners

We are planning to host small, group potluck dinners (6-8 people) during Advent to share a meal and reflect on our Advent theme for the week.

The four dinners will be held Tuesday, November 30, December 7, 14 and 21 at 6:30 pm. If you cannot make it to all four, you are still welcome and we welcome you to include others.

If you are interested in participating, please complete this survey. Also, please indicate if you are willing to host a dinner at your house.

Sunday Morning Hospitality
Westminster's fellowship time is an important way to build relationships with one another. We invite you to join us after worship for light refreshments and conversation!

Since we only need one more slot for our November SignUpGenius link, we will ask if you would like to provide refreshments, flowers or serve as our Sunday Morning Assistant in December as well, so please visit December Sunday Hospitality Sign-Up. Thank you for your on-going help and support of our Sunday services.
Prayer List

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

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!
