It is with great sadness that I share the news that our beloved member Otis Whitmore passed away of a cardiac arrest at the Akron hospital yesterday, Thursday, June 2, 2022. 

We pray prayers of celebration for Otis' life and thanksgiving that for his suffering and pain ended, and death is past and that he has now entered the joy and wholeness of God. 

We also pray prayers of comfort and strength for his sister Veronica and her family, as well as friends here at Westminster and in the wider community.

Otis' obituary will be published in the Wooster Daily Record in the next few days.

I raise my eyes toward the mountains.

    Where will my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,

    the maker of heaven and earth.

God won’t let your foot slip.

    Your protector won’t fall asleep on the job.

No! Israel’s protector

    never sleeps or rests!

The Lord is your protector;

    the Lord is your shade right beside you.

The sun won’t strike you during the day;

    neither will the moon at night.

The Lord will protect you from all evil;

    God will protect your very life.

The Lord will protect you on your journeys—

    whether going or coming—

    from now until forevermore.

~Psalm 121 (CEB)

Grace and peace,

Pastor Enikő
