Westminster's mission is to support spiritual paths and help people build four daily Christian habits into their lives: thankful, joyful, prayerful, and loving. These daily habits, based on 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 and the two Great Commandments, facilitate a closer relationship with God.
Westminster's vision is that, as these four Christian habits strengthen — thankful, joyful, prayerful, and loving — outward behavior shifts in the same direction. This leads to a stronger relationship with both God and people.

Prelude (Kathleen Jones)
Call to Worship — Psalm 36:7-9 (NRSV)
How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
Let us worship God!
Hymn: “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing” (Presbyterian Hymnal #356)
Prayer of Adoration and Confession
Assurance of Pardon
Song of Praise: “Halle, Halle, Hallelujah” (Lift Up Your Hearts #28)
We Greet One Another
Choir Anthem: “Bless Us Now This Day” by Douglas E. Wagner (directed by Carol Fassbender)
Scripture Readings:
Micah 7:18-20 (New International Version)
18 Who is a God like you,
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy.
19 You will again have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
20 You will be faithful to Jacob,
and show love to Abraham,
as you pledged on oath to our ancestors in days long ago.
Romans 6:1-4 (New International Version)
What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
Galatians 3:26-29 (New International Version)
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Sermon (Gale Watkins, Pastor)
Affirmation of Faith (The Nicene Creed)
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God, begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Hymn: “Baptized in Water” (Presbyterian Hymnal #492)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;

and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
