Dear friends,

I am so proud of the fact that for the last 7 months of the pandemic, Westminster has worshipped every Sunday morning in our sanctuary. We have been able to livestream services for people unable to attend. We have worshipped together outside for 5 months. Many people have stepped up to help make this happen!!!

As we head into November, our schedule will need to change largely due to weather. Our staff and session have worked diligently to plan for this next phase of our rebuilding of community. This is not our final stage of rebuilding but it is a step in the right direction.

Please understand our choir will not be available for health reasons until at least the beginning of 2021. As a result, our 11am service will be slightly different for the time being. We hope the addition of some praise music and special music will add to the beauty of our traditional songs and elements.

This schedule offers an early traditional service, a contemporary service, and a later blended service in order to optimize our use of space to enable social distancing.

Starting on this Sunday November 1. (We have ordered you an extra hour of sleep just for the change!)

8:00am – Contemplative service

several hymns, liturgy, sermon (no child-care or livestream)

9:30am – Contemporary Service

praise music, some liturgy, sermon (child-care & livestream)

11:00 – Blended

several hymns, praise music, and/or special music, liturgy, sermon (child care & livestream)

We will continue to require masks and perform temperature checks for health reasons. Thank you for your support, encouragement, and understanding over these last many months and in the months to come.

Your friend

Steve Wise
