Prayer Update



Let wonder be reborn with this dawning day...


Lord,

let the dawn connect our hearts with dawns long past

that shone on saints whose lives reflect

the light your Spirit cast.

Through word and deed and prayer

they turned their dreams to fact.

May we, like them, have faith to dare,

to dream great dreams and act!


Yet help us be a church where questions are allowed,

that understands the human search your Spirit has endowed,

that trusts the Spirits feeds the questions that we raise,

believing they become the seeds of future faith and praise.



~ from the hymn "Let Wonder Be Reborn" (#588 in the One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism: An African American Ecumenical Hymnal)



A joyous news for our community:


Our former Minister of Music and longtime friend, Divine Kwasi Ghaghbo and his family safely arrived to the US to join him. Divine will continue teaching at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. His daughters are joining him in studying at Marymount university. We rejoice that family is reunited and wish them many blessings as they begin their new chapter in the US.

Westminster Book Group


The Westminster Book Group welcomes all! 


We are reading My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies by Resmaa Menakem. 


Our next meeting will be on 

Thursday, August 24 at 7:00pm.


At this meeting we will cover Chapters 10 through 12. 


Friends, I encourage each of us to do the exercises at the end of the chapters.

(Take a journal and write down what you observe, what you experience in your body as you do the exercises.)

This book is not meant to be an intellectual endeavor only, 

but a bodily experience.


"The body is where our instincts reside and where we fight, flee, or freeze. My Grandmother's Hands is a call to action for us to recognize that racism is not only about the head, but also about the body. Menakem introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched radicalizes divide and takes readers through a step-by-step healing process based on the latest neuroscience and somatic healing methods."


At our meetings there are no wrong questions. We honor each other by creating space for openness and vulnerability. 


We are meeting online to make it accessible for everyone. Here is the Zoom link for the gathering:

our passions and struggles!

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!
