Faith Village
( 10:45 a.m.)
You shall put these words of mine
in your heart and soul, and you shall bind them as a
sign on your hand, and fix them as an emblem on your
forehead.

Summer Faith Village
Calling all children age 4 yrs - 5th grade: Summer
Sunday school is fun and cool. Our focus this summer
will be on THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. Through a great
animated film series and other exciting activities
children will come to understand God's Commandments on
their own level. Summer Sunday school meets after the
children's conversation during 10:30 worship. (No 9:00
am Sunday school)
***Summer Sunday school
will not meet June 29th due
to Presbyterians in the Park,
please join us for worship
at the Antelope Park Bandshell.***

Swanson Scholarship
-Time is Running Short
Applications for the Swanson Scholarships are now
available in
the church office. The scholarship provides $500.00 in
financial support for undergraduate education for the
recipient for the 2008 -2009 academic year. The
applicant should be an active member of Westminster
Presbyterian Church or has a parent or guardian who is
an active member.
The applicant should currently be a full time student
or have been admitted for full time study at an
accredited institution of higher learning for the school
year of 2008-2009. While the scholarship is open to any
and all courses of study, preference will be given to
the applicant who shows an interest in a course of study
related to education and community service. Previous
applicants are encouraged to apply again. Applications
should be returned to the church office to the attention
of Rev. Dr. Andrew McDonald by July 15, 2008.

The Food Pantry
Needs Your Help!
Food donations and monetary gifts are desperately
needed. If the food items are available at the Lincoln
Food Bank we can purchase them for 17 cents a pound.
However, may items aren't available so we have to
purchase them at the grocery store and/or rely on your
food contributions. It is a vicious circle--food prices
are rising and the Mission needs more food in order to
distribute to more hungry people. Westminster is proud
of our mission for the People City Mission, however, we
need your help soon. Our food supply is low and our
pantry account is very low. Please consider donating
food items or monetary gifts to the Westminster Food
Pantry. All gifts large or small will help.
