Westminster's mission is to support spiritual paths and help people build four daily Christian habits into their lives: thankful, joyful, prayerful, and loving. These daily habits, based on 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 and the two Great Commandments, facilitate a closer relationship with God.
Westminster's vision is that, as these four Christian habits strengthen — thankful, joyful, prayerful, and loving — outward behavior shifts in the same direction. This leads to a stronger relationship with both God and people.

The Lord’s my Shepherd, all my need

For all eternity.

Scripture Readings:
Psalm 23 (ESV)
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
John 10:11-18 (NRSV)
11“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away—and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep. 14I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. 16I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father.”

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Doxology
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below;
Praise God above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
Prayer (from When We Gather)
We hear the voice of Jesus the Shepherd, O God,
and seek to follow his course for our lives.
We bring our gifts now before you as results of our search.
Accept them and use them so that others may join in the quest.
Bring others to the gates of your promised land,
and let them hear you calling them to come, enter in. Amen.
Hymn: “Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us” (Presbyterian Hymnal #387)
