Parent prayer time is a great way to get involved.

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven."

Matthew 18:19 New International Version (NIV)

One of the most important things we can do for our community is to cover it with prayer.  A group of WCA parents meets once a week to do just that - pray for our students, faculty, staff and families.

Beginning Thursday, September 8th, all Westminster parents are invited to join together in the Administrative Building Conference Room from 7:35 am to 7:55 am.  Can't make it every week?  Then please come whenever your schedule allows.  Your presence will be greatly appreciated!

Handicap Parking Request

Please be aware when you are choosing a place to park to leave our handicap parking spaces open for those who require handicap access.  Even if you are parking temporarily, you will need to utilize a marked parking spot.  Thank you for your help with this!

Please be in prayer for Konda Johnson and her  family - Brian, Hollan (WCA 2019), and Grace (WCA 11th) - as they continue on the journey of conquering Konda's cancer.  A method called Proton radiation therapy is scheduled in the month of September.  It will be only five days total of radiation treatment, spread out over a couple of weeks .  It will be used to target her liver lesion and also lung nodules. After this is completed successfully, Konda will be monitored every 2 -3 months.  Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated.  

Prayer requests are included here at the request, or with the permission of the family.
