From the Pastor's Desk
Westminster Friends & Family,
We have so much to unpack in the coming weeks and months regarding this most recent election and unpack we shall! Of course, we’ll do it “decently and in good order” (a popular Presbyterian mantra) with opportunities for church-wide prayer and discernment. In the immediate future, I encourage you to make these upcoming events a part of your faith practice this month:
-
Nov 10 @ 11:30am Stewardship Baked Potato Bar & All-Ages Building Project
-
Nov 10 @ 4:30-5:30pm Vigil for Democracy (First UCC, 700 Marion St; Marion Street lawn)
-
Nov 17 & 24 @ 11:30am Election Debrief Listening Circles (hosted by Westminster’s elders & Pastor Kelly)
Ever onward,
Pastor Kelly
In case you missed it, Westminster’s handbell choir shared a wonderful piece, Built on this Rock, this past Sunday. Enjoy it here, and share with family and friends.
Prayer for the week:
The God of Jacob executes justice for the oppressed;
and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord watches over the strangers;
and upholds the orphan and the widow,
but the way of the wicked is brought to ruin. (Psalm 146:7-9)
Peace,
Pastor Kelly
