      PRAYER IN THE LOUNG, MONDAYS 3:00PM



  • Pastor Gale Watkins is retiring 


 This last Sunday 5/10/2026 we had a Congregational meeting after worship. The purpose of this special meeting is to act on the request of Gale Watkins to dissolve the pastoral relationship with Westminster (effective on May 31, 2026). This is a necessary step for us to take in the transition to new pastoral leadership.

Leaving Worship Service


 I help people grow spiritually by sharing God’s Word in the Bible. I do this in a weekly Bible study that I prepare for adult learners, and through a sermon that is part of our worship service. I also help people grow spiritually through prayer and listening. In prayer, I ask the Lord to work actively in others’ lives. Even if I do not know the specific challenges that another person is facing, I can always intercede for them in my prayer. Listening is an important way of showing love to another person. It seems that people want to be heard more often than they are looking for advice. When we listen carefully to another, that shapes the way we pray for that person.   Gale Watkins, Pastor

Simple Prayers You Can Use

 Give me, O Lord a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; 

Give me an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out: 

Give me an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. (St. Thomas Aquinas)  (posted 5/11/2026)

   

Prayer for the new year   In 2026  our job is to deal with the possible and let the lord care for the impossible.  (anonymous) (posted on 1/1/2026)

Prayers and Quotes from the Pastor

"The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7) 


Gale Watkins, Pastor

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change. … 'Be still, and know that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth.' The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge." (Psalm 46: 1-2, 10-11)


Gale Watkins, Pastor
