Westminster Presbyterian Church

Westminster is part of the Family Promise network of churches in New Castle County that houses prescreened homeless families in church facilities on a rotating basis. We just completed our 3rd hosting week and the families enjoyed the hospitality. Visit the Family Promise blog to see their latest entry about Westminster.

Christian education is exercise for the soul. Stretch your mind...push your limits....pull up new thoughts...jump into important issues...and grow in faith! Join us for our Christian Education Open House on Sunday, September 12 from 10:10 to 11:00 a.m. in Community Hall. All programs and educational ministries will be represented so that you can explore, ask questions, and sign up for specific offerings. Whether you are single or have a family, there is something for everyone of all ages and stages in life. Take a sneak peek and download our Fall 2010 Christian Education booklet.

Once again this year, our 10:00 a.m. worship services during the month of August will include great monuments from the world of instrumental music. For the first Sunday of the month, a solo organ work by J.S. Bach will frame the service. The other four Sundays, outstanding guest instrumental soloists will be with us to play major concertos by Haydn, Mozart, Elgar, and Chopin, with the orchestral accompaniments provided by Paul Fleckenstein on our 53-rank Austin pipe organ. Each Sunday, the three movements of that day's work will be played as the Prelude, Offertory, and Postlude for the services, with the Prelude beginning well before 10:00. Come to chuch early during the month of August so you won't miss any of the great music! Click here for the full line-up for the month.

Please continue to pray for understanding and guidance as to what we in Wilmington can do to help our fellow Christians in Congo. Read on...
