Westminster
Presbyterian
Church
Without a God and a world that is
now not visible to us but is hoped for,
the majestic ideas of morality are, to
be sure, objects of admiration and
approbation, but not incentives for
resolve and realization. – Immanuel
Kant, The Critique of Pure Reason
All sorrows can be borne if you put
them in a story or tell a story about
them. – Isak Dinesen
The arc of the universe is long but it
bends towards justice. – Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. March 25, 1965, after
successful completion of the Selma to
Montgomery march.

All God’s people everywhere,

°*HYMN 292 - “All Beautiful the March of Days”
Forest Green
PRAYER OF CONFESSION (in unison)
Almighty God, you love us, but we have not loved you. You call, but we have not listened. We walk away from neighbors in need, wrapped in our own concerns. We
condone evil, prejudice, warfare, and greed. God of grace, help us to admit our sin, so
that as you come to us in mercy, we may repent, turn to you, and receive forgiveness;
through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen.
(Silence is kept for personal confession.)
All Sing:
DECLARATION OF PARDON

All:
In Jesus Christ we are forgiven.
°*GLORIA PATRI
H. W. Greatorex
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

OLD TESTAMENT LESSON - Psalm 85
Leader: The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
ANTHEM - “Every Time I Feel the Spirit”
Pew Bible, pp. 543-544 OT
African-American Spiritual, arr. William Dawson
Every time I feel the Spirit, moving in my heart, I will, pray.
Yes, every time I feel the Sprit, moving in my heart, I will pray.
Upon the mountain my Lord spoke,
Out of his mouth came fire and smoke;
Looked all around me,
It looked so fine,
Till I asked my Lord if all was mine.
Jordan river is chilly and cold,
It chills the body, but not the soul;
There ain’t but one train upon this track,
It runs to heaven and right back.
NEW TESTAMENT LESSON - Revelation 21:1-5; 22:1-5
Leader: The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

The Reverend Susan G. Hamilton
We are not alone, we live in God's world.
We believe in God:
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the church:
to celebrate God's presence,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God. Amen.

Offertory Anthem - “Deep River”
African-American Spiritual, arr. Mack Wilberg
Deep river, my home is over Jordan.
Deep river, Lord, I want to cross over into campground.
Oh, don't you want to go to that gospel feast;
That Promised Land, where all is peace?
Deep river, my home is over Jordan.
Deep river, Lord, I want to cross over into campground.

Intercession and Petition. When the minister says “Through Jesus Christ our
Lord,” the congregation is encouraged to respond with an audible “Amen.”)
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be
done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our
debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Today’s Music: Those who preached to the slaves told them that they were not slaves, but were the apple
of God’s eye, and made in God’s own image. They learned that it was through a gracious and loving God,
who heard the lament of the Hebrew slaves, that freedom came. Just as the Hebrews were not inferior to
the Egyptians, the slaves were not inferior to white people.
Spirituals attested to this and proclaimed the grace of God and God’s ultimate triumph over evil. They
would taste freedom, they believed, across the river Jordan, meaning in heaven. Looking forward to that
day of release, the slaves sang such spirituals as “Deep River.”

What is a Capital Campaign? Why are we doing a Capital Campaign now? For
what will the money be used? These questions and many more will be answered
in an Adult Education question and answer class next Sunday, January 25. Please
plan to join us Heritage Sunday.
Presbyterian Heritage Sunday
Next Sunday, January 25
10:00 a.m.
with Miami Valley
Pipes and Drums
Members and friends of the congregation are encouraged
to wear any Tartan or plaid that they may have such as
skirts, kilts, and ties.
This is a day to be Scottish, no matter what your heritage!
WELCOME VISITORS!
We are glad you are here. After the service today, on
your way out please stop by our Welcome Center just
outside the Sanctuary’s double doors. We have a small
gift for you to say, “Thanks for being here” and being a
part of our worshipping community today.
Have you enjoyed visiting Westminster? Would you
like to know more about us and how to become a
member of our congregation? Do you wonder what
it really means to be a Presbyterian? If so, you are
warmly invited to our Investigating Church Membership Seminar that continues today, right after worship
in the Resource Center, across from the Sanctuary on the
East side. Deciding to attend this class is not a decision
to join Westminster: it is designed for people who
are curious to know more, as well as those who have
decided they are ready to become members. It meets
on Sunday mornings after worship for three more
weeks, from 11:05 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Newcomers are
warmly welcomed to this seminar. Questions? Contact
Laurie Davis ([email protected] or 2237285).
PARISH NOTES
The flowers in the Chancel are given in honor of Josephine Jahoda and in loving memory of Milton Arthur
Jahoda, Jr., and Shirley and Robert Lacy by John and
Kathy Jahoda and Chris and Dave Therkelson .
Please join us following worship for Coffee Hour,
downstairs in Fellowship Hall. You are invited to enjoy
some light refreshments and fellowship. Donation
containers for members are placed near the coffee.
Don't miss the opportunity to have your blood pressure
checked in the Chapel Reception Room immediately
following worship.
The Fellowship Committee would like to invite you,
your family, and friends to join in a night of bowling
fun on Saturday, February 7, 7:00-9:00 p.m. It's cold
outside but Westminster will warm things up inside
Beaver-Vu Bowl in Beavercreek. Cost is $12.50 per person, which includes two full hours of bowling, shoes,
snacks, and a soft drink. Please RSVP on the church
website by Wednesday, February 4. For more information contact Fellowship committee members Ernie
and Melody McCallister (937-426-5460).
Transportation volunteers needed: Sunday morning
bus transportation has recently resumed to Bethany
Village. In addition to Bethany residents other members
of our church could benefit from transportation assistance. If you can help with our transportation ministry
on Sunday morning or during the week please contact
Deacon Vail McGuire ([email protected]). No special license is required to drive the church bus.
Large print bulletins, hymnals, Bibles and sermons are
available in the Narthex, from an usher, or at the hearing
aid table by the elevator.
During the service, if you notice someone who appears
to require medical attention, please raise your hand
in the air or contact the head usher. Response Team
members will see your hand and care for the person.
If someone asks you for money, we encourage you
instead to give them one of Westminster’s Emergency
Assistance Cards, which are available in the Narthex or
the Church Office.
Each week the churches of the Presbytery of the Miami
Valley keep one particular congregation in their prayers.
This week the churches are praying for St. Luke Presbyterian Church in Middletown.
Need to speak with a pastor after worship? Here
is where you can find them: Richard – Narthex; Sue –
Perry St. door; Nancy – Fellowship Hall.
ADULTS AND OLDER ADULTS
Have you resolved to try something new in the New
Year? Join us for Gentle Yoga each Tuesday, 12:30-1:30
p.m., in the Stargazer Theatre. You can attend at any
time – no experience needed. It’s very beneficial in the
cold weather to keep the muscles warm and pliable,
which lowers our risk of injury. Yoga also calms the
mind and helps one “center” as we return to the stresses
of work and/or school. Bring a mat (loaners are also
available), a light blanket, water, and a friend. The cost
is $8 per class. The class is taught by Certified Yoga
Teacher Susan Allen.
Come and be a part of one of our Interest Groups. All
of these groups are open to everyone and provide a
great place to bring a guest or two or three! Singles,
beginners and all walk-ins are welcome.
 Bridge Interest Group #2 will meet Monday, January 26, at 6:30 p.m., in Room 203-205.
Small Group Retreat at Bergamo Retreat Center this
Friday and Saturday: January 23, 5:30 p.m. – Saturday,
January 24, 3:00 p.m: All current members of Small
Groups and anyone desiring to join a Small Group are
encouraged to attend. Our own Dr. Richard L. Baker
will be the keynote presenter on the theme of
“Friendship as a Basis for Community,” with time for
worship, reflection, relaxation, and good food. Contact
Laurie Davis ([email protected] or 937-223
-7285) ASAP if you would like to attend. There are a few
spots still available.
On January 28 at 6:00 p.m., the Stephen Ministry Continuing Education Program will present “The Ins and
Outs of Home Care.” The speaker will be Elaine Harris,
MS, RN, a clinical Liaison with Senior Helpers. Elaine
brings a wealth of experience in the field of home care
and senior needs. All members and Friends of Westminster are invited to this timely presentation. We will
meet in the West Parlor.
SAVE THE DATE—Just Friends will be taking a chartered bus trip on May 14, 15, and 16, to Ohio Amish
country to tour the Schantz Organ and Furniture Company, Lehman’s Hardware, the Behalt Cyclorama at the
Amish and Mennonite Heritage Center ,and other places of interest. For more information please contact
Marge Weeks, Rosalie Jennings, or Sally Frost.
Between Jobs, a Westminster support group, assists
people looking for work opportunities on their spiritual
and vocational search. WPC volunteers also mentor
some of these individuals. If you know of someone
looking for work, please have them contact Vic Barnett
([email protected]). We will try to support
with companies, contacts, and information. If you own
a business or are a key decision maker, Between Jobs
can use your ideas, a little bit of your time, and your
talent.
ADULT EDUCATION
January 11 - February 15
11:20 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
Heaven, Hell and the Age to Come: The Afterlife in Judaism, Christianity and Islam – Led by David Barr.
(Chapel) Judaism, Christianity, and Islam share a common history and thus, share many common ideas and
practices – often with sharply different meanings. After
examining how and when the curious idea of an afterlife
arose, we will explore the similarities and differences
between Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Heavens and
Hells. Each tradition also posits something beyond
Heaven and Hell: a time when the current world will
dissolve into a kingdom ruled by God (Torah, Sharia,
Jesus). They agree that Jerusalem is at the center of this
new age and some are willing to obliterate the others in
order to claim it.
Marilynne Robinson’s Home, Gilead, and Lila – Led by
Richard Baker. (West Parlor) Marilynne Robinson is a
Pulitzer-prize-winning novelist, a renowned teacher of
creative writing at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, a recipient of the National Humanities Medal, a fellow of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a Calvinist—you could even say a staunch Calvinist. She also
believes that, for the past two or three generations in
America, Calvin has not so much been misread as not
read at all. Through her writing and speaking she aims
to correct that omission. We will consider three of her
novels—Home, Gilead, and Lila—to see how this passion
for Calvin informs these works and how it might inform
our faith.
January 11, 18 and Feb. 8, 15
11:20 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Panning for Gold: What the Bible Says and Doesn’t Say
About Marriage – Led by The Reverend Laurie Davis
(Room 203-205) Discover the timeless and timely truths
about God’s divine intentions for the gift of marriage,
found just below the surface of our Biblical witness,
from Adam and Eve to the marriage of the Lamb in
Revelation. Is it a “remedy for sin or recipe for righteousness” or something more? What we uncover may
surprise and inspire you. This four-session course will
explore the definition, purpose, and meaning of marriage according to the changing contexts of the biblical
narrative, and our world today.
INFANTS AND CHILDREN
Infants and Toddlers (Infant - 4 years old) are cared for
from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Room 108. During the
worship hour, the 2 - 4 year olds are told a Bible story,
participate in an activity, and enjoy a snack. Parents
of infants are provided a beeper by the nursery staff in
case immediate communication is needed while they
worship in the Sanctuary and attend Adult Education
classes.
We welcome young children to worship in our Sanctuary at Westminster. We have prepared cloth worship
bags with quiet, worship-related activities, including a
Children’s Bulletin and felt board designed specifically
for today’s service. The bags can be found in a basket on
a bench in the Narthex (main Sanctuary entrance) and
upstairs in the balcony. All children are invited to use
one throughout the worship time and then return the
bag to its original location, taking the papers home with
them.
Pre-K and Kindergarteners are invited to “Children
and Worship,” a unique and interactive introduction to
the stories and practices of our faith. As the second
hymn begins, these children will be met in the Narthex
(main Sanctuary entrance) and escorted to Room 106.
Children and Worship concludes at 11:30 a.m.
Children in grades 1 and 2 are invited to attend “Come
and See/Godly Play,” a unique and interactive worship
experience for younger elementary children. As the
second hymn begins, these children will be met in the
Narthex (main Sanctuary entrance) and escorted to
Room 104. From there, they will be escorted to their
CrossRoads workshops at 10:55 a.m. by their CrossRoads Shepherds.
CrossRoads: Education for the Journey, featuring varied and engaging activities for children in first through
sixth grade, continues a six-week workshop today: “The
Beatitudes: Blessed By God to Be a Blessing to Others.”
As the final hymn begins, children are invited to meet
their age-group shepherds in the Narthex (main Sanctuary entrance) and be escorted to their workshops. Choir
children will be escorted directly to their rehearsals.
Other children may be picked up from their workshops
at 11:30 a.m. Workshop location signs are posted in the
Narthex and on the stage in Fellowship Hall.
Calvin Fellowship (grades 3-6) is going swimming
next Sunday, January 25, at the Vandalia Recreation
Center. Splash around for some “summer fun” right in
the cold of January inside (of course). Younger siblings
are welcome if parents attend. A light lunch will be
served at 12:15 p.m. The Westminster bus will return by
3:00 p.m. to the WPC parking lot. RSVP to Linda Kohl
or Laurie Davis.

Add your prayer to our Prayer Wall, located in the Sanctuary near the Chancel on the east wall. You will find
blank prayer papers and pencils in the four mini-desks built into the wall. Write your prayer on the paper, roll
up the paper, and insert it between the bricks of the wall. These prayers are completely private, between you
and God. After the first Sunday of each month, the wall will be cleared and all prayer papers will be respectfully burned. Prayer Wall postcards are now available to send to someone for whom you prayed. They are located in the Prayer Wall mini-desks and the Narthex.
I will call upon you, O Lord; come quickly to me: give ear to my voice when I call to you. Let my prayer be
counted as incense before you. Psalm 141:1-2a.
A SPECIAL NOTE TO OUR VISITORS THIS MORNING
Thank you for your presence here in worship today. Every Sunday God blesses us with the gift of new visitors.
Some of you have come across town or across the country and found your way here today. This may be your first
time ever, or first time in a long while to be in a church on a Sunday morning. Or you may be a member of
another congregation. Whatever tradition you may have come from, we are delighted to have you here today and
invite you to experience our worship, Coffee Hour, Sunday classes, or whatever captures your imagination
and need. To learn more about us, visit our website, www.westminsterdayton.org, “Like Us” on Facebook, take a
brochure from the pew rack, or contact Laurie Davis, our Associate Pastor for Spiritual Growth, by e-mail
([email protected]) or by calling or texting her (937-284-2212).
We have good news for you: Westminster is a safe place to ask questions and to live the questions of life that have
no easy or pat answers. We believe that Jesus welcomes all people, just as they are, and so do we. We understand
the life of faith to be a journey better walked together than alone. Westminster is an exciting congregation where
you can grow in faith and discover meaningful opportunities to be a part of a community where loving God and
neighbor is transforming lives. That’s our purpose. And that takes all of us.
God’s grace and peace to you this day,
