Similar to most of you, I have precious memories of reading books to my kids while they were little. We’d have this weekly tradition of visiting our church library after worship to check out a couple of books to read throughout the week. As you already know, the JoAnn Reafsnyder Memorial Library is getting a complete renovation. Every week we get closer and closer to having it come to life. It is a dream of ours to have it be a place where people will go on a regular basis to check out books, gather for meetings, and use it for a resource in their daily journey of faith. Sandra and I are building on all the hard work and investment that JoAnn Reafsnyder and Judy Moon have done over the years. The area that we want to add is a Children’s section. We will start out small to see if the area is visited and can build on it down the road. This is where you come into play. If you want to donate your favorite children’s bible story book (new or used) – we would love to include it in the Library! If you want to donate it in honor or memory of someone, we can place a notation in the book. We appreciate your support! I hear from Sue McSween that the chairs are being delivered this week, the conference table can be delivered any time, and the carpet will be installed within the next couple of weeks. Praise the Lord!  Hugs,  Renee Wiesehuegel

Happy Friday Westminster! It rolled around quickly this week. I have a couple of reminders for you:

1. Share the Bounty begins this Sunday. Bring your extra flowers and/or produce to Sunday’s table. All monies placed in the donation jar will be donated to local food charities. Cool, huh?
2. Montreat Service Project: While the youth are at Montreat June 13-19, they will be assembling health kits for two local agencies that support homeless veterans in Asheville. The items needed are: men’s athletic style cotton socks, regular size toothbrushes, and travel size shampoo, soap, lotion, and toothpaste. There will be a donation basket in the Schilling Gallery. Anything you can donate will be a significant help as we seek to be good neighbors. Thank you for your help with this project!
3. Sunday worship during the summer months is held at 10:00 a.m. Make plans to stay after worship for fellowship time and Lemonade time in the Schilling Gallery. ♫

This is the day that the Lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Hugs,
