The focus of our Good Samaritan Saturday this Saturday will be the Habitat for Humanity house. Please meet at the Habitat house (206 E. 25th, Pittsburg) this Saturday, June 2 at 8:45 a.m. You are welcome to work the entire day until 4 p.m., half day or just help out for a couple of hours. All are welcome and needed, skilled and unskilled! Many hands make for light work!
 
This is our church’s one-and-only assigned work day for the Apostles Build and is an all-church effort.Can’t swing a hammer or push a broom, what about providing lunch or refreshments for the work crew or providing child care? There are many ways to help!
 
Here are a few items of information for Apostles Build Volunteers for their work day:
  1. All organizations need to provide meals, water and drinks for lunch for all of the volunteers on the Build project on their designated work day.
  2. Work will commence at 9:00 am. Please get there by 8:45 a.m. because we will have a safety meeting and a prayer before work commences. There will be a break for lunch and work will finish at 4:00 p.m.
  3. All workers are encouraged to bring any hand tool, tool belts, etc. that they wish. There will be hammers and basic tools to meet the needs of most teams of volunteers if needed. All power tools like saws and drills will be provided by Habitat supervisors.
  4. Wear work clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty in. It is fun work, but you can get dirty. Gloves are suggested.
Part of our tasks will include trim doors, windows, install cabinets, countertops and appliances.
 
Let’s have a big showing of Presbyterians! The following churches have put in their time: Family Life Assembly of God, First United Methodist, South Broadway Baptist, Community of Christ, Nazarene, Trinity Baptist, Our Lady of Lourdes, St. John Lutheran, Salvation Army, St. Peter’s Episcopal, Trinity Lutheran, and Zion Lutheran… NOW IT’S TIME FOR THE PRESBYTERIANS TO ARRIVE ON THE SCENE!

2012 Summer Church Camp

The summer is almost upon us! Mark your calendars and start packing for one of the most exciting summers of your life! Welcome to Westminster Woods!

Spiritual Times at Westminster Woods

At Westminster Woods campers are encouraged and uplifted by the different styles of worship that take place. Each camper starts their day with Morning Watch which allows for either individual or small group Bible study and reflection, the day also includes 2 high energy worship services that reflect creativity and energy using different worship styles from hymns to contemporary Christian music, and teaching times. Each evening ends with a traditional vespers service and cabin devotions. Chapel is listed more than any other activity as the campers’ favorite camp activity. 

Fun times at Westminster Woods

Each day is filled with fun, wild, and crazy games and activities that will leave the campers with laughter and a desire to attend camp again and again. They will have the opportunity to choose from various activities like swimming, canoeing, paddleboats, basketball, indoor games, crafts, nature walks, ultimate Frisbee, and many other choices, as well as whole group activities that promote fellowship and community.

Safety at Westminster Woods

All of the staff at Westminster Woods is selected for their Christian commitment, their love of youth, and their desire to share their beliefs. The summer staff then grows more through intensive staff training for 2 weeks prior to the campers’ arrival. While encouraging campers to learn and grow, camp counselors come along beside the campers to serve as good role models by providing strong examples of faith and accountability. Their love of Christ and how that influences the guidance they provide helps all campers feel loved and accepted in an environment that is safe emotionally, physically, and spiritually. 

Westminster Woods is a modern camp with modern facilities. The camp meets the industry standards in safety and accountability. *Member of Presbyterian Church Camp and Conference Association.
