Session Summary Feb 2021

Roy Smith shared some devotional thoughts from John 11:45-47. Gary Mullen was absent with notice as he was following a Covid protocol isolation.  Scott Duffin reported on a refinancing offer from Queensborough Bank.  The Administration Team will vet the offer and make a recommendation to the session.  Ben and Hannah Field were joyfully received into membership.  They are transferring from Faith Presbyterian in Long Beach, CA.  We received a report from the Web Site Team and their desire to launch a new website in March.  Also, we approved a proposal to update our wireless equipment so as to provide reliable internet throughout both buildings. The McKnight shoe donation for adoption expenses has been started with reception bins in the foyer and the fellowship hall. A class for the children of the church who may be ready to make a profession of faith will begin in March. Several ideas for evangelism and discipleship were shared included a bus ministry to Fort Gordon, passion week events, Home groups and Men’s breakfast restarting, a possible podcast, Sunday Evening schedule (Home Groups, worship service, prayer meeting?), and a possible outreach to the Veritas Academy and Classical Conversations. A Jews for Jesus Christ in the Passover event will be hosted by Westminster on March 25 at 7:30pm.  Your shepherds are updating our Elder Watch Care lists. The prayer ministry of the church was a source of great encouragement to the elders as well as the peace and unity that has prevailed in our congregation through the unique and pressing challenges that Covid-19 has presented.  Many of those isolating in our congregation and beyond may soon receive a thoughtful gift – the brainchild of Karrie Harmer.  God is good and He is doing good.  Our labor in the Lord is not in vain. May he be glorified in both in our ministry and life together as the body of Christ.
