The World Is Not As It Should Be.

At Westminster, we seek to embody the love of God as agents of change for the common good.

We want to expand our redemptive imaginations.  

By moving toward other people's needs, we are reorienting our longings for the world to be set right.

 

If you've discovered a solution to a problem that affects millions of other people,

wouldn't you want to tell the world about it? 

We believe that Jesus is the best news for a world that needs hope,

so we are committed to telling others about Him.

As you grow in your faith, we will provide training and encouragement to help you talk about your faith with others without being uncomfortable or threatening. 

With many of your Westminster friends, you will discover that there is no greater joy

than when you tell someone about Jesus, and they decide to follow Him, too.

Thanksgiving Grocery Gift Card Mission

Westminster continued our Annual Thanksgiving  Basket tradition for 2022 but with a bit of a twist.  In the past we have given back a little of what God has given us to put together a meal for needy families. However, this year we provided grocerty store gift cards so that families could have the option of picking out their own food to fulfill their needs.

 

We were able to bless 10 families from McCleery Elementary School and 13 families from Covenant Christian School both in Aurora this year.  Everyone was very appreciative of the donations they received.   God is Good!

The Giving Tree

Our beautiful “Giving Tree” can be found just down the hall from the narthex every Christmas. We want to encourage all those who can help brighten Christmas for others. We welcome all that can participate in this incredible ministry.


Placed on the tree are a number of paper ornaments on which a specific item that has been requested will be written. 

 

If you would like to help, we ask that:
You choose an item you want to donate and remove the attached ornaments from the tree. The paper ornament you will take with you to place on the outside of your unwrapped gift. This will enable us to know the contents of the facilities when they are returned to the Church and help us get assistance to the correct family or group.

 

Every year, we donate gifts to local groups such as Wayside Cross, Hesed House, Heifer Int'l, and the Aurora Interfaith Food Pantry, as well as families and friends in need.

 

Rhea Britton leads this ministry.  Seek her out if you want to help.

 

Stamp Ministry

Please join us as we collect canceled stamps for the Alliance Stamp Ministry in Fort Myers, Florida.  The income from the sale of these stamps supports the preparation, publication, and distribution of a Spanish language curriculum for Sunday Schools.  

If you would like to donate, please follow these guidelines:

-Stamps should be cut off, leaving a 1/4 inch edge around the stamps.
-Flag and Bell stamps should not be saved.
-Postcards are welcome. Please save the whole card. Do not just send the stamp. Cutting the stamp off postcards makes them lose their value.
-Old Stamps in albums and foreign and commemorative stamps are especially welcome.

 

Contact Evangelism Deacon Roger Spurgin with any questions.
