Weekly Happenings

July 29, 2024

Please welcome Ashley Higgins.

Ashley is the Associate Pastor for Young Families. In this role, she will provide leadership and support for the church's program and mission with the specific population of young families.

This will include interaction with the Westminster School of Young Children.

You will also see Ashley on Sunday mornings helping with worship and helping coordinate the Young Families Sunday School class.

Ashley grew up in Small Town, North Carolina, as a pastor's kid, and the only girl of four siblings.

She and Jake, her husband, met at The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where she studied Anthropology and he studied Business and Music. Jake and Ashley fell in love over coffee, exciting trips, and unforgettable moments while wrangling middle schoolers as youth leaders at their church in Chapel Hill.

Jake and Ashley have two girls, Molly, age 6 and Mia, age 8.5, soon to be first and third graders.

We had a great Sunday School class yesterday with Shelia Decker from the H. E. R. O. program. If you missed the class but would like to watch, please click here.

The Homeless Education Resource Office (HERO) provides necessary resources, supports and referrals to help homeless children and youth succeed in school and have a positive school experience.

Next Sunday

The Earth Care Task Force will continue our discussion “Faith and Climate Change: Our Ongoing Discussion” in Fellowship Hall on Sunday, August 4, during the Sunday School Hour. Curtis Baysinger will summarize what we have discussed in our previous four sessions and examine what other faith-based groups say concerning climate change.
