Making the Team

by Kim Pillow With the Olympics on right now, I keep thinking about team sports. I enjoyed being a part of various teams in junior high and high school, and learned so many invaluable life lessons with each.

We Are the Church

I had the privilege of being at Westminster's Building dedication in May of 1991. I was 19 years old. I can still remember the freshly laid sod, new gravel in the side parking lot and trailers still out front from the last minute preparations. To have a church building had been a pressing goal since Westminster was founded seven years earlier in 1984. A lot of blood, sweat...
