Dear friends,
As we all continue to process the events at Westwood Hills Elementary School yesterday, we want to invite you all to attend or watch the service being held tonight Westminster Presbyterian Church Waynesboro, VA. Coming together as community is the best thing to do in moments like this.
Our hearts go out to all those who were in the school, all those who showed up to help, and everyone who feels the weight of an event like this in your heart and in our community. We are praying for you.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to Pastor Adam or Pastor Meredith if you’re in need of support, a listening ear, or someone to pray with. We are here for you.
Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers. 🙏
Hello Friends,
Today has been a very difficult day in Waynesboro. And for so many, tomorrow and the many days ahead will be hard, too. I want to extend my deepest gratitude for the prayers, support, and care for the Westwood community that have been truly amazing.
In light of the events at Westwood Hills Elementary School today, Westminster Presbyterian Church will host a Service of Peace and Comfort in our sanctuary on Thursday, September 3, from 7:00–7:45 p.m. Child care is provided for children from birth through 4 years old. A prayground is offered in the back of our sanctuary with small chairs, tables, and coloring sheets. The service will also be livestreamed for those in our community who wish to remain at home.
Area clergy will be present to help lead the service, along with Westminster staff and members. Additional clergy will be available after the service in the chapel and social hall for a time of prayer and support for staff and families, as needed.
Thank you for being the good in such a broken world. I am sending my love out to you all.
Serve and Love Well,
Rev. April H. Cranford
