Help build bridges of understanding
Invite two or three international students from the University of Michigan to dinner in your home this fall, for a holiday meal or for a simple weeknight dinner. The students speak some English and come from a variety of religious traditions. All are eager to experience life in an American home.
Please contact Chrisita Ackermann for more information
and to volunteer. The program is sponsored by the Ecumenical Center and International Residence in cooperation with the University of Michigan International
Center.
Give blood in October
Friday, October 24, 2–8 pm
Sign up to donate blood at this Westminster deacon-sponsored Red Cross blood drive. Please contact Anna Beeman or Laurie Beuhler for more information.
Do you have a computer you aren’t using?
The recent mission trip to Norristown, Pennsylvania, was a great success. The Omegas helped set up a dance room, a music room and a computer room. Unfortunately all of the computers at Norristown are over a decade old. We are looking
for five Windows XP machines, with their install discs if you have them, to donate to Norristown as a continuation of our mission work there. For more information, please contact Daniel Mora.
Veterans to be recognized
Since its founding over fifty years ago, Westminster has had both members and staff serve in the military. In order to help us remember the sacrifices they have endured, the Veterans Recognition Committee is putting together a list of service members (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard and Reserves) who have been members or staff of Westminster to begin the process of putting together a fitting recognition. Please fill out this form for yourself or for a loved one.
How to keep our kitchen spic and span with very little effort
Don’t you love how clean and organized the church kitchen is now? Please consider volunteering for a turn to help keep it that way: sign up to clean just one item in the kitchen. Don't like cleaning by yourself? Sign up with your committee or small group! The signup sheet is in the entry to the fellowship hall.

Third graders help Wash with Care
Hope Clinic provides completely free laundry facilities for its clients, in its Wash with Care program. Participants may wash and dry as many as six loads of clothes per visit, with detergent and dryer sheets provided if Hope Clinic has them on hand.
Westminster’s third grade class is now accepting donation of powdered laundry detergent, Ziploc bags and dryer sheets, in the laundry basket in the entry to the fellowship hall. Class members will bag the detergent into “one load” amounts and deliver the donations to Hope Clinic.
Please consider helping to provide clean clothes for someone less fortunate than you.
Save your stamps!
Please cut cancelled stamps from letters you receive, leaving a quarter-inch inch border, and place them in the “Third World Country” box on the table in the entry to the fellowship hall. We send them to a German community of people with intellectual handicaps who sort them and sell them and send the profits to missions around the world. Thanks!
Missional Team creates info depot
On the right side of the entry to the fellowship hall you’ll find a new bulletin board and literature rack dedicated to Westminster’s move toward becoming a more missional church.
Along with basic information on the missional church, there are personal discipleship tools, ministry design tools, a spot to ask questions and space for posting your new ministry ideas.
Need a ride to church?
The deacons maintain a list of volunteers who are willing to offer you a ride to and from church on Sunday morning, whether it's a one-time or an ongoing transportation need. Please contact Steve Gregory for further information.
Love high-tech stuff?
Broaden your skills and put them to excellent use by helping to run the sanctuary sound system during worship. Training is provided. Teens are encouraged to volunteer. If you are interested or would simply like to learn more, please contact Sandy Jones.
Communion prep help needed
If you are able to periodically help prepare the elements for communion services, please contact Phoebe Vance. Thank you.
