A community of gratitude and generosity, celebrating God's love in Christ
Westminster’s famous mincemeat will be on sale on Sunday, November 25th following the service. Don’t miss the opportunity to get your supply. Price remains unchanged at $6.00 a tub.
Today’s anthem include words from a longer very ancient prayer. It’s attributed to St. Patrick, the second Bishop of Ireland- and dates from the 5th century. This kind of prayer is meant to invoke God’s protection against every kind of evil. You can find a part of this prayer in Voices United, hymn 317. The music is very contemporary, using surprising harmonies to enhance the words we sing.
Sine Nomine is the name of the tune we sing to “For all the Saints,” “Go to the World,” and others. It’s a latin term for “With no name.” Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote this well known tune in 1906, and so many years later it still stands as one of our most recognizable in the Anglican, and Protestant church. A neat feature is the bass line- the lowest notes walking along the bottom of the tune. It never stops! It evokes a sense of marching- marching behind the saints that lived their lives before us. If you have a good view, be sure to check out Don Menzies’ feet as they pedal along!
Come join us for an open, friendly conversation about who Westminster is as we work towards a promising future….11:45 – 12:45 in the chapel; led by Carol Latter (board chair) and Rev. Sherri. If you can’t join us today, the next one is November 4. If you aren’t able to attend either session, please send us your responses and thoughts to info@westminsterchurch.org.
