This Week at Westminster, Wooster
|
It is with excitement that we welcome first-years and returning students of The College of Wooster this coming Sunday at 10:45am followed by our traditional brownie reception. As a church we are privileged to be on The College orientation schedule for first year students and to have many new and returning students visit us on the first Sunday of a new academic year.
It is with a sense of accomplishment that the Wayne County Fair Board awarded a vendor's contract to Westminster Presbyterian Church and the Wooster/Orrville NAACP to have a #BlackLivesMatter booth at the upcoming fair, September 10-15. You are also invited to visit Westminster's blog and read our latest blog of what precipitated approval and join the debate online. A followup press release will be published later today.
Remember this week worship returns to 10:45am, but if you should show up 10:00am Pastor Dries will be more than happy to visit with you over a cup of coffee. |

Labor Day honors the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of the country.
