Children of the Church

by Tom Northenscold, Elder and Church School Teacher

The youth of Westminster are a blessing to us all. They bring an energy and vitality to our lives that makes our days brighter and gives us hope for the future. They also bring a unique perspective to the blessings we all enjoy through Westminster Presbyterian.

To bring that perspective to Counting Our Blessings, we asked the seventh and eigth graders to roam the church making photographs of people, places and things that remind them of the many blessings that are bestowed on us and that we bestow on others. This slideshow is a compilation of those images.

It won't be too many years until these youth are leading us in service on Youth Sunday, telling us of their plans for the future–and we will pay rapt attention. The work we all do in nurturing these children of the church in their faith blesses us all in abundance. The children that grow up within Westminster Presbyterian feel it. They know this to be a place where they can be themselves and are safe. We should all take pride in the amazing things these youth go on to do. The youth of Westminster are truly a blessing. Let's always remember to celebrate that.

What an imaginative - and telling - way to bring the story of Westminster's future to our attention. Thank you!
