Father’s Day Photo Tribute - Sunday, June 16th, 2025

As we prepare to celebrate Father’s Day, we invite members of the congregation to bring a framed photo of their father, or a father figure, who has had a meaningful impact on their life.

During our Father’s Day coffee hour, a special table(s) will be set up in the fellowship hall to honour and remember these important men—whether they are still with us, or have passed on.

Please drop off your framed photo to Karen Watson in the fellowship hall before going upstairs for the service.
All photos can be picked up following the coffee hour.

​

Thank you, 

 

Karen Watson

150th Anniversary of Westminster United Church

Our planning to celebrate 150 years of Westminster United Church is just beginning, and there is talk of a pot luck dinner with foods your grandmother loved to make, an evening of singing old hymns, some interesting historical displays, a summer picnic at Cave Springs and more.  Share ideas of celebrating that you’d enjoy, and share your memories of past times that we can collect in a memory book. Committee members will be asking for your input.
