Worship

Address:
Mackey Hall, Westminster Church House
353 E Pine St
Wooster, OH 44691
Presented By: Andries Coetzee
David Noble will preach with Pastor Andries Coetzee leading worship as we explore congregational sustainability. After the service the congregation will join in conversation as we strengthen our voice as a congregation that emphasizes among other things:
- intellectual integrity in matters of faith;
- acceptance of all people regardless of ethnicity, creed, age, cultural
background, or sexual orientation; - openness toward the value of other religious traditions;
- a strong commitment to social justice, peacemaking, and the care of our planet.
In a recent letter to the Congregation David wrote;
“While we celebrate and try to live Christian ideals and gospel, we welcome anyone of whatever persuasion, position or peculiarity to join us. We believe we can learn from others who disagree with us. We are open to conversation with anyone. We can be enriched by the traditions, stories and rituals of others. We seek to be a gathering place of ideas. We need to find a way to share this openness with more members of both the college and town communities.
“We seek to be a caring, compassionate community that pursues mercy for the unfortunate. We want to care for the stranger, lift up the oppressed and show mercy to everyone. We can best achieve these goals with more voices and more hands.”
