28^th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Preparation for Worship

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:17

In today's service, we continue our reflections on the parables of Jesus. In the passage today, the wideness of God's mercy and the healing provided to God’s people are particular themes. These ideas are echoed in the hymns and other service music offered in worship today.

We also extend a warm Westminster welcome to Pastor Gwen Brandfass, who fills our pulpit and leads us in worship this morning.  Pastor Brandfass is a minister of the word and sacrament in the John Knox Presbytery and has been a guest preacher in our midst on three previous occasions. Pastor Brandfass currently serves as a Chaplain at Oakwood Village West.
