ANNOUNCEMENTS  and  UPCOMING EVENTS

  • Congregational Meeting:  The Session previously invited the congregation to submit names for nomination for the offices of Ruling Elder and Deacon. Mark Cook was nominated for the office of Deacon and has received instruction in the qualifications and work of such office, and the Session has determined him to be eligible to stand for election as Deacon. Ed Allen and Jim Eggert were nominated for the office of Ruling Elder, have been previously ordained to that office, and the Session has determined them to be eligible to stand for election as Ruling Elders. The Session has scheduled a congregational meeting for January 26, 2025, for the purpose of electing these nominees for Deacon and Ruling Elder, and to hold a corporate meeting for the election of Trustees of the Church corporation.
  • Thank you from The Holland’s: “Mandy and I want you to know how much we appreciate your generous gift this Christmas. We are overwhelmed by the love you show to us. It is our privilege to share our lives with you and continue our partnership for the growth of the gospel in our community. We are looking eagerly toward 2025 and the things God will do through Westminster Presbyterian Church.”
  • Christmas Eve Candlelight Service: Please plan to join us at 6 PM on Tuesday, December 24 for our annual Christmas Eve Candlelight Service to celebrate the blessed birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
  • New Adult Sunday School:   Revelation, the last book of the Bible, is oftentimes seen as shrouded in mystery, and full of scary images. Oftentimes misunderstood and misused by American culture, and even many Christians, this precious and magnificent scripture calls the church to remember who their God is and what it is they are waiting for: the return of their Lord, Savior, and King, Jesus Christ. Because of this, Revelation calls the church to persevere, to wait patiently, and, indeed, to conquer, because their God is the sovereign conquering King. Join us on Sunday mornings as Pastor Jeremy gives an overview of the book of Revelation: how we read it, various schools of interpretation, and what message this book has for all of God's people throughout time.
  • Wednesday Night Fellowship Night and Bible Study:  We meet at 6:00 PM on Wednesdays in the Fellowship Hall.  Meals are provided for a suggested donation of $3.00 per person or $12.00 maximum per family.  Pastor Wes is currently leading us in a study of Zechariah.
  • Brandon Classical Christian School: Just a reminder to tell friends and family about our new Classical Christian School that will be starting with kindergarten this fall.
  • Men’s Round Table Study Group:  Meets at 7:00 PM on Tuesday nights (other than 3rd Tuesday of the month) in the Library • Currently studying “Walking by The Spirit”. Contact Pastor Jeremy Fuller, (656) 200-2559, for details.
  • Men’s Reading Group:  The Men’s Reading Group will not meet again until after the New Year.  The first meeting will be January 14th.  We will be starting Come with Me Through Revelation.
  • Women’s Circle Bible Studies:  We are pleased to offer two different studies for our women’s Bible study classes.  SAVED: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Acts, by Nancy Gutherie (Morning Study is at 10:00am and Evening is at 5:30pm – 2nd/4th Tuesdays).  SAVED will examine the entire book of Acts, peering into the lives of the apostles in the days following the resurrection of Jesus and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.  ACTS Part 1 – PRECEPT UPON PRECEPT (7:00 – 1st/3rd Tuesdays).  Using the Precept study method, we will dig deep into the first 12 chapters of Acts in which Luke recorded what happened after Jesus’ ascension to the Father.                             
  • Evening Service: Every 1st and 3rd Sunday, at 6:00pm you can join us for our evening worship services. This is a smaller service, which includes a Hymn Sing, where we all choose our favorite hymns to sing together.
