Federated Church of West Lafayette

Federated Church of West Lafayette Our Five Goal Values:

1) We welcome all people: At Federated, we passionately embrace Christ's command to "love one another."

Federated Church is an interdenominational church that is committed to welcoming all who enter, inviting each to find sanctuary, connect to God, one another, and the needs around us. We come from a wide range of cultural, theological, socio-economic, and denominational backgrounds. We celebrate our diversity.

2) We share Christ's love through serving others. As God opens our eyes to the needs ar

ound us, we share generously of our time, hearts, and resources to make a difference beyond the walls of Federated Church.

3) We are Christ Centered: At Federated, we exemplify Christ's love by providing a safe space to explore spiritual ideas and experience the joy of connecting to God through His Son, Jesus Christ. We listen and learn from each other.

4) We are traditional with a twist: Federated is a church steeped in rich tradition, and we are people who wholeheartedly embrace opportunities to worship and grow in new ways.

5) We work together: Federated is at its best when we are working together to serve Christ, our community, and one another.

90+ Spotlight: Hank Wadsworth

This week, we are excited to shine our 90+ Spotlight on Hank Wadsworth!

Hank has been part of Federated Church since its beginning and has a wealth of knowledge about Federated’s history. His story is rich with memories, but perhaps one of the most beautiful threads woven throughout his life is the simple power of an invitation to sit around the table.

Whether it was gathering around the table after church with the Saints and Sinners group or welcoming a group of Purdue students into his home, Hank’s house was often filled with people, conversation, laughter, and stories. There was always room for one more at the table.

That spirit of hospitality continues today as Hank enjoys sharing meals and conversations with others at Westminster. Whether you join him for a cup of soup in the Pub for lunch or dinner in the dining room, you can be sure there is a story to share, a conversation to enjoy, and life to experience together.

We are grateful for Hank and the many ways his life has enriched Federated Church and the people around him. His story reminds us that sometimes something as simple as an invitation to the table can become a meaningful part of someone’s story.

90+ Spotlight: Celebrating Faithful Servant

This week, we are excited to feature Marge Carr!

Marge joined Federated in 1997 after marrying Lou Carr. She quickly became involved in the life of the church, especially since Lou was always finding something to do around Federated!

Marge has a love for adventure and travel, naming that she has specifically loved the opportunities she got to take trips with other Federated members throughout the years. She has visited more than 20 countries around the globe. Whether it was exploring the glaciers in Alaska, riding an elephant in Asia, or watching Lou’s face emerge from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, Marge has countless memories and stories to share!

We encourage you to ask Marge about her adventures over the years—and share some of your own travel adventures with her, too! While Marge’s own travels are more limited these days, she loves hearing about the places others have visited and encouraging others in their own adventures.

We are grateful for Marge and the joy, friendship, adventurous spirit, and enthusiasm she brings to our church family. We’re so glad to celebrate her as this week’s 90+ Spotlight!
