This Week At Westminster
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



This week we pray for:

Cheryl Weiss
Prayers of thanksgiving for Cheryl's successful abdominal surgery last Wednesday at the Cleveland Clinic and for her continuing steady recovery. 

Diane Chupp
Prayers for healing and comfort for Diane as she is preparing for a cataract and glaucoma surgery on her right eye on January 31 and a glaucoma surgery on the left eye on February 7.

Gabbriel, goddaughter of Gayle Walker, friend of Pastor Enikő
Continued prayers for Gabbriel to make the needed decisions regarding crucial medical treatment.


As temperatures drop, we pray for those who do not have a safe and warm place to call home. We pray for all in our community who are supporting the operation of the Severe Weather Shelter at the Salvation Army. Special thanks to members of Westminster who have been preparing and serving meals at the shelter on Mondays during the month of January.

We pray for the lingering challenges at the US southern border, and especially for the many around the world seeking asylum, help, and care.

We pray for the people struggling for freedom, peace and justice; for places torn by conflict, famine and violence. We give thanks for all who work to make this world a more peaceful place. Today, as fears of Russia's military aggression over Ukraine mount, we especially pray for the peaceful resolution of the conflict between these countries.

As the Omicron variant of the Covid-19 virus spreads across the world, we pray for wisdom so that all will do the right thing to protect the wellbeing of our communities. We pray for exhausted medical staff who care for the sick; for people in countries with no access to the vaccine.

Public Health Safety Update

Considering the recent high Covid-19 infection rates in Wayne County, we will continue to implement the following changes to our worship and fellowship:

  • We paused offering refreshments after worship until further notice.
  • We limit singing hymns to 2 verses and include more instrumental music.

We are monitoring the situation, and will adjust our guidelines as conditions change.
The College of Wooster recommends the use of NHIS approved N95, KN95 and KF94 masks in indoor spaces.

Free Covid-19 At-Home Rapid Test Kits are available at www.nachw.org.

Thank you for your understanding and support to keep all of us safe.

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!
