December 22
Alternative Christmas Gift Market
Parlor


The Alternative Christmas Gift Market offers a different way to give gifts to friends and family while also giving to those in need. Nineteen non-profit agencies and WPC missions have provided “shopping lists” that offer gifts to enhance the quality and faith-based nature of gift-giving this holiday season. You can “purchase” gifts from the participating groups in honor of family members and friends.
Join us in the Parlor on Sunday.
Alternative Gift Christmas Market

As we move further into this season of gratitude, reflecting on the miraculous good news of the Gospel, we are filled with hope
by the outpouring of your gifts - your expressions of generosity of the heart and spirit. They reflect a deep desire to embody God’s love and extend Christ’s light to others, especially at a time when the world so desperately needs it. Isaiah reminds us, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” (43:19) God is indeed moving among us, calling us to something greater: to be Christ’s hands and feet, and to illuminate the lives of others with compassion, kindness, and action. The results of our generosity campaign so far reflect this faithful call. We still need $550,000 to meet our 2025 goal.

We are not simply meeting goals—we are participating in something sacred, a renewal of
spirit and purpose. This holiday season, let us continue to be the light of the world to our
neighbors, both near and far. Let us allow our generosity to flow from a place of love,
moving us toward new possibilities for ministry, mission, and care. Thank you for sharing
your gifts and for helping us witness the “new thing” that God is doing in our midst.

Westminster is continuing our new series of Sunday School classes to help us get back to the basics! This Spring we’ll continue with an introduction to Christian Beliefs. We’ll explore how Christians understand their faith, the doctrines of the church, and our own Reformed tradition. Attendees will become familiar with the beliefs of the church, why they matter now, and how they shape and form our lives as contemporary Christians. This class is great for anyone who is new to the faith all the way to seasoned theologians who would like a refresher—all are welcome!
