All Session members with the exception of Bryan McReynolds, were present along with guests Millie Moore, Carla Wooten, Phil Motes, and Randy Waters. We prayed specifically for seven of our church families. We also shared and prayed for concerns known to each of us as shepherding elders. We heard reports from the pastor about families that have recently attended and been contacted by him and others. The Veritas Christian school has agreed to again use our facilities on Thursday during the school year. The Trellis team reported that our June financials closed with a $8,700 deficit, leaving us $11,900 below budget for the year. Continue to pray for wisdom as the Session deals with this issue. About 20 people are regularly attending the bi-weekly Wednesday evening “Your Questions, God’s Answers” dinner and study, and the Sunday evening prayer service and fellowship time. These efforts have been well received and all are encouraged to participate. We will begin a new family-oriented Sunday school class in the fall with John Etheridge as teacher, a great opportunity for those that prefer this style of learning. We were encouraged by Paul and Robina Wolff’s recent visit and report about their mission work that we have supported for decades. Remember to sign up to adopt one of our missionaries, a huge blessing. The church growth team effort to reach out to new residents in our local neighborhood has produced hundreds of contacts that are being sent follow up materials. The fellowship team has planned a church wide luncheon for July 31. Come to meet and enjoy time with your brothers and sisters in the Lord and hear an update about future church plans. The ladies recent “Meet and Eat” luncheon was well attended and enjoyed by all. The matter we have before Savannah River Presbytery was not resolved at their July meeting, so it is still pending and continues to need our prayers. There are many activities and plans in process to minister well to the members of Westminster and our community. Please pray for God’s blessings, and consider how you might use your own spiritual gifts to help.
