Missional Team creates info depot
On the right side of the entry to the fellowship hall you’ll find a new bulletin board and literature rack dedicated to Westminster’s move toward becoming a more missional church.
Along with basic information on the missional church, there are personal discipleship tools, ministry design tools, a spot to ask questions and space for posting your new ministry ideas.
Need a ride to church?
The deacons maintain a list of volunteers who are willing to offer you a ride to and from church on Sunday morning, whether it's a one-time or an ongoing transportation need. Please contact Steve Gregory for further information.
Save your stamps!
Please cut cancelled stamps from letters you receive, leaving a quarter-inch inch border, and place them in the “Third World Country” box on the table in the entry to the fellowship hall. We send them to a German community of people with intellectual handicaps who sort them and sell them and send the profits to missions around the world. Thanks!

Book drive benefits Mott Hospital
Confirmation class members Lydia Brown and Kristin George are organizing a book drive in April to support the C. S. Mott Giving Library. Each member of the current confirmation class will complete a similar community outreach project.
Four days a week, U-M Health System volunteers visit the bedsides of hospitalized children and give them books to read – and not on loan, but for keeps. The exciting, imaginative and educational world of books can provide much-needed diversion from the stresses of hospitalization. Since the Library’s inception in 2001, thousands of books have been given to patients and their visiting siblings.
Your contributions, placed in a decorative box in the entry to the fellowship hall, will be greatly appreciated.
Confirmand collects birthday bag items
Jordan Koenig is collecting birthday celebration items for SOS, to fulfill her confirmation class project requirement. She will happily accept your donations of cake mixes, frosting, candles, birthday napkins and plates, birthday hats and small gifts or party favors for children ages 1–5. She’ll assemble birthday bags to be given to mothers as their child’s birthday approaches. Please put your contributions in the box in the entry to the fellowship hall.
