Mission Highlights
To all those who bought, prepared and served food for the WARM shelter last week I want to say,
"Congratulations on a job well done!" You certainly nourished the bodies of all our guests! And we hope
that our caring and visiting with them nourished their souls as well. My heart was touched and my
mind expanded by meeting them, even in such brief encounters. And it is wonderful to see Westminster
join together in this important mission. Thank you! Bobbie Bonar
