Service Times
COVID-19 Response
We are living in unprecedented times, and while the church building sits empty, Westminster has not gone away. Staff members, lay leaders, members and friends alike continue to be the living body of Christ. Online worship services, classes, discussion groups, morning and evening devotions punctuate the calendar daily. Pastoral care continues over the phone. Meals are being collected every week to serve the hungry. The church remains at work and in prayer. Know that we are here. Share that we are here. Take a moment to learn about all the ways in which you can participate from where you are.
Survey of In-person Gatherings
We continue to closely monitor state and local guidelines regarding in-person gatherings, and are working toward putting the procedures in place that will make us compliant with the guidelines. At this time, we are not holding any in-person gatherings. We have created a brief (5 question) survey that provides an opportunity for you to give feedback on your preferences and concerns. We encourage all Westminster members and friends to complete the survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/

Youth Ministry Video Series
Week 2 - Functional Faith
What: Prodigal Parent Video Series: Spiritual Practices for the Whole Family
When: 6 Wednesdays at 12:00pm (May 20th- June 24th)
Where: WPC Facebook and YouTube channels
Who: Anybody with kids of any age in the house!
It appears that we aren’t going to be together for normal Sunday morning activities for awhile still. So, a group of youth pastors in Marin got together to talk through various things families can be doing at home now to help your kids grow deeper in their faith. As youth pastors we know that the spirit of our youth (and parents) are being put to the test currently. Now, probably more than ever, our youth need to deepen their faith. Our hope is that one or two of these will help fill a void in not just your children's spirits, but also yours.
Special thanks to the following for joining us and making it happen: Shea Morgan, Young Life Marin; Jeff Shankle, WPC; Patricia Wiig, Mt. Tamalpais United Methodist Church; Ben and Shelly Zuehlsdorff, Marin Covenant Church.
