A Defining Moment for Westminster
On Sunday, July 9, Dr. Jones publicly announced the progress of Westminster's Capital Campaign, "Our Faith, Our Foundation, Our Future," and why it is essential to the present and future of our amazing congregation. Our facilities provide space for 30 community ministries. We are raising $2 million for our Property Endowment Fund and additional funds will support our many mission programs. We want everyone to be a part of this great initiative. If you missed Dr. Jones' July 9 sermon explaining the importance of this campaign, please pick up a copy in the sermon rack on the literature table at church or

A Mission That Needs You
Westminster has always cared for hungry men, women, and children in Wilmington. One way we do this is by sending money and volunteers to Emmanuel Dining Room. On the 4th of each month, a team of three prepares lunch for about 150 people. This means that there are 36 opportunities each year. Westminster is seeking someone to coordinate the schedule. This can happen from home using phone, email or SignUpGenius.com (a free online tool). Please consider this chance to serve Westminster and people in great need. If you think you are called to this ministry, please contact Greg Jones at church.
