WPC Youth Ministry 2.0 Sunday, Sept. 22, 11:15am

There’s a purpose for all of it.

Time for questions as well.
Upcoming Events and Speakers
What Does That Mean? Wednesdays, Aug. 21-Sept. 4, 9:30am
It can be easy to fall into the habit of using "churchy" words without actually investigating what they mean. In this series, Ted, Rob, and Bethany will spend some time exploring in-depth three of those words - grace, providence, and salvation.

For Your Information
Learn to Speak Spanish
Hablas Español? If you do not understand the question, would you like to learn?

Please email Carol Coffman at
if you are interested in lessons in an effort to better converse with Spanish speakers here in Marin. Please indicate if you would prefer day or evening classes.
Thrift Shop Bin
Beginning September 1st, the thrift shop bin will no longer be available for drop off. Any donations should be taken directly to the Tiburon Thrift Shop, 96 Main Street, Tiburon; or any other organization you would like to support.
Remember Your Pledge Payments
Even as you travel this summer, please remember to keep up with your pledge payments, as church expenses are year-round. If you haven’t made a pledge in support of the 2019 budget, you may still do so by going online (www.wpctiburon.org) or contacting the church office. You may also simply choose to give directly to the plate offering during worship. Thank you for your ongoing support of Westminster!
Online Directory
A reminder that we now have a new online directory with member contact information. You may contact the church office for the password. Also, don't forget to add your personal/family photo to your profile. You may do so by going to the bottom of any directory page, click on “Manage My Family Info” to log-in with your personal password (if you have created one, or follow the prompts to create a personal sign-in.)We would like to eventually have only one directory online as the current photo directory is no longer being updated. Thank you.
