Good Morning Westminster ,
Thought we had a good chance this morning of the ice melting on the parking lot, but the Lord has other plans. =) The snow is pretty coming down. Hope you have a safe and peaceful day.
Several reminders for you:
- Paula Hogan needs volunteers to help her serve breakfast at Volunteer Ministry Center this coming Sunday (January 17). If you can help, please call her (548-2038).
- Tonight (January 12) is Ministry Team Night. If you are currently serving on a ministry team, please meet in the Fellowship Hall from 7:00 to 7:20 for refreshments and fellowship. Announcements will be at 7:20 and meetings begin at 7:30 pm.
- Wednesday night (January 13) is WWW night. Dinner begins at 5:45 pm and the program starts no later than 6:30 pm. Childcare is available for the class time. There are three programs to choose from: (1) Buran’s class is “Bound and Free: A Theologian’s Journey” (2) Buz Johnson’s presentation entitled “The Civil War and its impact on East Tennessee ” (3) Companions in Christ – which is an ongoing women’s study group, will begin a new study in the Prayer room.
- Thursday is our day to make FISH deliveries. The FISH hotline rings constantly here when they forward the calls to us. So many people are in need! The sad thing is – we can only deliver the amount of food to the needy based on how many volunteers to deliver the food! If you want to help out with this, call Barbara Wilkinson today (cell: 300-8845)
- Wednesday is the Abbey deadline. Please get your articles into Debbie Bendy on a timely manner. Her email address is unitedprinters@comcast.net
- Sunday’s Adult Sunday School choices are: (1) Bible Study Class in the Library (2) John Muntz’ class on the Book of Confessions held in the McKinnon Room (3) Women In Touch in the Prayer room
- Snow policy: I think our first run on it for the winter last Sunday went smoothly. Just a reminder, if there is any question as to whether a class, service, or Sunday School would be offered, all you have to do is check your email, check our website, or call the church office. I can change the voice mail on our phone from anywhere. Safety is our major concern!
Hugs,

I love teaching 3rd and 4th grade Sunday school. I find it is an age where children are beginning to have the ability to discuss topics and form their own opinions. I love watching children discover what the world looks like through their eyes.
Hello, my name is Debbie Babelay. This year I have the wonderful opportunity of teaching the 2-3 year olds in our Sunday School program. They are all precious to me. We have fun learning about God’s love and how each of us is a special child of God. I look forward to their smiling faces each Sunday morning. This is my 3rd year teaching in the Sunday School program. I have also worked with vacation bible school.
I have known Westminster my entire life! I grew up in the church since birth. My faith is rooted in so many wonderful experiences at Westminster such as going on trips with Choristers, Montreat, and a Mission experience to Mexico. I went to college in Alabama at Birmingham-Southern. After college, I lived in Birmingham where I worked in sales. I met and married my husband Wiley there. Jim Carter (former Westminster minister) married us at Independent Presbyterian in Birmingham. Wiley’s career has taken us to New Mexico and Arkansas, and now back to Knoxville. We have been here since 2011. We have 3 children, Ella (11), Grant (7), and Walker (5). I work as the Assistant Director of the preschool at Central Baptist which allows me to have a similar schedule to my children. My favorite job is being their Mom!
