What a great year it’s been for the youth group of Westminster Church! With pumpkin carvings, gingerbread house auctions, plays, dances, Youth in Action at various missions, baking cookies, showing our awesome technological computer skills for Doors Open, and tantalizing conversations over a meal during our Food for Thought meetings, we had a blast!
The Sunday morning youth class will be meeting for the last time this Sunday, June 2. We will be having a movie night in the church on June 15 from 7 p.m.-9 p.m. to celebrate our achievements. Our last Food for Thought is on Monday, June 17 in the library from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. And this summer, we’re heading to Rock Lake United Camp during the first weekend of August. Thanks to EVERYONE who helped us make the youth group a success.
Local photographer Cynthia Bettencourt took some wonderful pictures of our church choir this May. Check them out online!

“The Mighty God with Power Speaks”, a new selection from Psalms for All Seasons, will be presented by the choir on Sunday morning. This setting of Psalm 50 is unique in that it uses a tune strangely familiar to “I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say”, which uses a traditional English folk song, titled “Kingsfold”. Psalm 50 is set to a tune called “Star of County Down”. Nearly identical to each other, this may be a question of “chicken or the egg”! Unlike the majestic and royal sounding English setting, this interpretation is a little more rustic in nature, hence the folky sound of Greg’s guitar, and Nathan’s Irish fiddling.
