Join us this week at Westminster for meaningful worship and fellowship that cultivates spiritual growth as we work towards a more just world. Remember that your presence makes a difference!
This Week at Westminster, Wooster
Welcome to our newly designed "This Week at Westminster, Wooster." This weekly publication is in addition to our monthly newsletter and will just share highlights of the week with links to the Westminster website.  We invite you to click the links and read more information when suggested.

This coming Sunday, August 21 at 10:00am we are looking forward to gathering at Oak Hill Park for our annual Outdoor Worship and Picnic with Blessing of the Backpacks.  For many in our congregation, young and old, these two worshipping opportunities are among their highlights of the year.  

We are also drawing your attention to the celebration of life for Barbara Bell on Saturday, August 20th.  Barbara has been a long time member of Westminster and friend, role model and inspiration to many in our church, community, and the world. 

Now is also the time to sign up for our "Suppers for Six or So" as you help Westminster discern what it means to be "Intentionally Inclusive,", while at the same time enjoying fellowship with Westminster members and friends over a meal.

We hope to see you at the first Vegan Potluck of the new school year on Thursday, August 25th, at 6:00 p.m. in Mackey Hall. Just bring a pot-luck dish containing no meat, dairy, or eggs (no need for students to bring a dish, but always  welcome). Come join us in fellowship over lovingly prepared plant-based food. Bring someone new! We will be sharing a little about the who/what/why of our monthly Vegan Potluck. Can't wait to see you there! 
(The Westminster Vegan Potluck is usually on the 3rd Thursday of the month.  To include College of Wooster students we moved it to the 4th Thursday for the month of August.)
