Fellowship Dinner Changes Pay Off

A new change occurred for this year's annual Fellowship Dinner. While previous dinners have taken place in March, this year the event was held Nov. 5.

As custom, guests gathered at Stonegate to partake in Westminster’s primary fundraising event. The evening opened with three worship songs performed by a collaboration of the High School worship team. This went so well that many guests noted afterwards that their only complaint was wishing to have sung more.

After the time of praise was a Westminster alumni testimony. Mr. John Mravik, former student and student teacher of Westminster, told his story of the school’s positive affect on his life, particularly after his motorbike accident, which left him paralyzed from the neck down. Mr. Mravik stressed the significance of Westminster’s support. Although the school has undergone significant growth and development, he noted the consistent community atmosphere.

The main speaker, Dr. Kevin Leman, connected comedy with the study of birth order, creating an amusing yet insightful presentation.

The success of the night, however, did not end with the dinner. The first sale of the jewelry for the Uganda ministry took place succeeding the event. God provided the Joy of a Child Ministry with 800 dollars worth of jewelry. All of the profits support the AIDS widows who create the necklaces and bracelets, and David Kamanzi and his ministry.

The overall accomplishments of the night revealed God’s presence during this unique gathering of the Westminster community.
