Stack of Stones

Quarterly Newsletter for Westminster Presbyterian Church

Several times in the Bible, the people of God practiced stacking stones on top of one another as a reminder of how God blessed them and made their lives whole. This newsletter serves a similar purpose for Westminster as we chronicle the year and provide testimony to God's faithfulness.
