The theme of this year’s service is “Amazing Grace – an Easter Gift.”  As you enter the sanctuary you will literally WALK through the events of Jesus’ last week on earth.  We will then join together in an exciting and uplifting service of celebration.

We hope you’ll all join us for the service and then – if you wish – all are invited to join us for a free Easter breakfast following worship.

Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling.

Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

We had a wonderful turnout and a great time remembering those who had worked so hard years ago to provide us with not only the physical building but also the faith foundation upon which Westminster is built. Watch for some photos to come – but in the meantime – here’s a shot of some current and former pastors and 2 of the pastoral candidates that have been supported by our congregation.
