Connect with God and with each other
While we work together to fight the spread of the coronavirus and protect those most vulnerable, Westminster will be worshiping and gathering virtually so that we might continue to feel connected to each other and to God's presence. We hope you will join us!
Click the button >>>> to connect to virtual worship with the Rev. Julie Emery and the Rev. Nancy McLaren of First Presbyterian Church, Hartford. Karen Hammond, Director of Faith Formation provides a children's message every Sunday.
Just because we are practicing "social" distance, doesn't mean we need to be spiritually distant. Find us on Facebook where we do a live prayer every Tuesday and Thursday at 2:00 p.m.
Need prayer or connection on the phone? While we are working remotely, you can contact us via e-mail at office@westpresby.org and we will connect you to a member of our Care Team.
