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.

Sermon (Gale Watkins, Pastor)
Litany for Thanksgiving
Give thanks to the Lord who is good.
God’s love is everlasting.
Come, let us praise God joyfully.
Let us come to God with thanksgiving.
For the good world; for things great and small, beautiful and awesome;
for seen and unseen splendors;
Thank you, God.
For family; for living together and eating together;
for family amusements and family pleasures;
Thank you, God.
For children; for their energy and curiosity;
for their brave play and startling frankness;
for their sudden sympathies;
Thank you, God.
For growing up and growing old;
for wisdom deepened by experience; for rest in leisure;
and for time made precious by its passing;
Thank you, God.
For the church into which we have been called;
for the good news we receive by Word and Sacrament;
for our life together in the Lord;
We praise you, God.
For your Holy Spirit,
who guides our steps and brings us gifts of faith and love;
who prays in us and prompts our grateful worship;
We praise you, God.
Above all, O God, for your Son Jesus Christ,
who lived and died and lives again for our salvation;
for our hope in him; and for the joy of serving him;
We thank and praise you, Eternal God, for all your goodness to us.
Give thanks to the Lord, who is good.
God’s love is everlasting. Amen.
Hymn: “Let All Things Now Living” (Presbyterian Hymnal #554)

Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession
The Lord’s Prayer
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 forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Offertory
Doxology
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below;
Praise God above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
Prayer
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
Eternal God, creator of the world and giver of all good,
we thank you for the earth, our home, and for the gift of life.
We praise you for your love in Jesus Christ,
who came to heal this broken world,
who died rejected on the cross and rose triumphant from the dead.
Because he lives, we live to praise you, our God forever.
Gracious God, who called us from death to life,
we give ourselves to you;
and with the church through all ages we thank you for your saving love
in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hymn: “Lord, I Want to Be a Christian” (Presbyterian Hymnal #372)
