WELCOME! It is so good to have you with us worshipping today at Westminster Presbyterian Church. Whether you are a regular attendee or a first-time visitor, we are blessed to have your presence with us today. When we open our Bibles to read the Scripture for the day and meditate on those words, we show God that we love Him with our minds. When we sing in ear-nest our songs of praise and adoration, we are worshipping with our heart and soul. When we pray and lift up others in prayer, we are exercising our faith and showing God we love him with all our strength. And when we treat each other with genuine kindness, respect, and interest, we are loving our neigh-bors as ourselves. Guests, please feel free to join us in fellowship and conversation after the service. Members, say hello to our

visitors and get to know them this morning. And now let us enter into a worship service that gives all the glory to God.

Sanctuary Flowers this morning are given to the glory of God by Cambridge Home Improvement in appreciation of West-minster, its congregation, its beautiful facilities and the rela-

tionship we have established in working on the buildings.
