The congregation is cordially invited to attend a choral concert by the Bowling Green State University Collegiate Chorale on Saturday evening, May 17, at 7:30, in the sanctuary at Westminster. This outstanding 30-voice group is the top of five choirs in the music school at the university and we are privileged to host them. Their concert program features sacred and secular music including motets by Schütz , Purcell, Bach, and Gjeilo, Jennings’ The Lord is the Everlasting God, Debussy’s Trois chansons de Charles d’Orleans, Liebeslieder waltzes by Brahms, folksongs, and vocal jazz. We continue to need help from the congregation and friends of Westminster in providing lodging for Saturday night and breakfast the following morning before the choir departs. We have appreciated our congregation’s generous help with this in the past and would welcome any assistance that can be offered this time. Please contact Renee, Sandra, or me if you would like to host. Thank you for considering it and we’ll look forward to seeing you at the concert!

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!
