New Life for Westmoreland Community Church!

Most of you know that Brett and I decided to join Westmoreland Community Church last year, shorty after our wedding. Westmoreland had a small congregation of the some of the nicest old people we had ever met! Saying that they are old is not to be rude, but lets face it we were the youngest couple by a good 20-30 years!

Anyway, in an effort to essentially pass on their legacy and keep the church alive the leaders of Westmoreland had begun a courtship with New Life Community Church in hopes that New Life would take over the operations and financial burden of the church, and in addition bring new members into the church from the community.

Well after several congregational meetings, we finally had our vote this Sunday after service. Though it was not completely unanimous, the vote did go through and we are now proud to be members of New Life Westmoreland (or whatever they end up calling it).

We are in awe of bravery that the older generation at Westmoreland had in making this decision and passing over their very traditional church to a more modern church who will take a different approach to worship.

We are so thankful for the work and the prayers of our friends, family and congregation that helped our church get to this point; and we are very excited for what the future holds!
