Education Support
"When you help a child today, you write the history of tomorrow."
                                                
-Father Flanagan

Here at Westminster we have a great tradition of excellence in education. Our foundation began with a Sunday school and we have continued to nurture and challenge children and adults throughout our history. Faith Village has become an exciting and dynamic place for children to explore their faith, learn more about the love of God and stretch their spiritual wings, in a place of safety and love.

Adults are needed to continue to fulfill this ideal. Please prayerfully consider if you can spend a few hours a month helping to write the history of tomorrow.

Please indicate interest: Place in offering plate or return to reception desk.
