Sunday Morning Worship
Click here for our livestream on YouTube.
Worship is the heart of what we are called to do as we seek to glorify God by gathering together to celebrate the mystery of God’s presence through word and sacrament, prayer and song, and by going forth to live lives of gratitude.
The people of Westminster Presbyterian Church gather on Sunday mornings during the school year at 9:00 and 11:00 to worship God. Typically, we move to a summer schedule between Memorial Day and the start of the school year, worshipping at 10:00. We enter into the presence of almighty God through prayer, song, the reading of scripture and its faithful and imaginative interpretation.
Worship is traditional at Westminster. Our sanctuary is one of beauty and peace. We are a very inclusive and diverse congregation, and that is often reflected in our worship life.
Our ministers proclaim God’s grace to us with preaching and liturgy which is both grounded in tradition and relevant to contemporary life. You will be fed and inspired by their words each week. The music — from the magnificent organ, our instrumental ensembles, and our choirs — will be familiar to most. We are a singing congregation, raising our voices together in praise!
Worship bulletins are posted on our website each week.
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!
