We welcome:Patrick and Anna Wade, Elizabeth Ridley, Jeanne and Larry Ridley, Tom and Robbie Gentry, Jennifer Shilling, Carole Morris, Anne Davidson, Brenda Seip, and Andy Bevers.

WPC held a “solar-bration” in the courtyard to dedicate our new rooftop solar panels today.  Please thank Westminster’s Environmental and Property Ministry Teams for their hard work and research to make this possible.  Read more about what the panels do on our new solar page.
