This Week At Westminster

Prayer List




Grant that I may pass through the coming year with a faithful heart.



There will be much to test me and make weak my strength before the year ends. In my confusion I shall often say the word that is not true and do the thing of which I am ashamed. There will be errors in the mind and great inaccuracies of judgment...



In seeking the light,
I shall again and again find myself walking in the darkness. I shall mistake my light for Your light and I shall drink from the responsibility of the choice I make.



Nevertheless, grant that I may pass through the coming year with a faithful heart. May I never give the approval of my heart to error, to falseness, to vanity, to sin. Though my days be marked with failures, stumblings, fallings, 
let my spirit be free so that You may take it and redeem my moment s
in all the ways my needs reveal.



Give me the quiet assurance
 of Your Love and Presence.
 Grant that I may pass through
 the coming year with a faithful heart.


~Howard Thurman, "Through the Coming Year"



This week we pray for:

Vivian Holliday's family

Prayers for peace and comfort for Vivian's niece Ellen and her family and all in our community as we grieve Vivian's death. There will be a memorial service at Westminster Church on Friday, February 24 at 2pm. I'll send you more information when it becomes available.


Erin Guzmán, COW Chaplain

Prayers for healing for Erin who broke both of her wrists in a fall she sustained during the holidays.

Continued prayers for healing.


Barbara Mykkanen

Prayers of gratitude for successful treatment. Barb continues to participate in a study to help others with similar cancer diagnosis.

Continued prayers for Deb as she continues her treatments.


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. 


We pray for

  • all who are struggling near and far with sadness, injury, loss, and despair;
  • those fighting illness, COVID and respiratory viruses, and chronic disease;
  • those who are rejoicing in new beginnings and fresh seasons of goodness;
  • a new year when we sense God’s nearness, care, and guidance;
  • eyes to see Christ in one another, and everyone we meet, and hearts shaped with love and working always for God's justice and 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!
