We are delighted to have Dennis & Wendy Cole with us this morning! Originally from New York, Dennis completed his undergraduate degree at Northeastern University in Boston, Mass. in 1971 and studied acting in Boston and NYC where he earned his Actor's Equity membership in 1975 after completing several New York stage productions. He was saved from the "Broad Way that leads to destruction" in 1983. After entering through "the Narrow Gate that leads to life", Dennis was called into ministry. In 1986 Dennis attended Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Mass. and completed his Master of Ministry degree 2 years later at Azusa Pacific Graduate School of Theology in southern California in 1988. That same year he and Wendy entered into full time pastoral ministry. Dennis was a senior pastor from 1988 until 2002 in churches in California, Oregon, Michigan, and Indiana., In 2001 Dramatic Christian Ministries was founded and became a full time ministry organization in 2002. Dennis now travels extensively throughout the United States and other parts of the world presenting the Bible in the first person through acting. Dramatic Christian Ministries and the Narrow Gate Theatre bring the Bible in the first person to people in order to fully minister the Word of God. Dennis and Wendy believe that the Bible is the perfect "script" for mankind and that all believers are called to "act" according to His Word. A Love Offering will be taken for their ministry.

LATTER RAIN GATHERING
TONIGHT @ 6:00 pm

“No Hype – Just God’s People Crying Out for a Move of God”

The Prophet Joel spoke directly to our day when he wrote, ‘and He (GOD) will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.’ (Joel 2:23) We have heard the Lord to gather God’s people to come together and to both wait upon and entreat Him to pour out His rain. We will be gathering tonight to sing the songs of Zion, some from former rains of revivals, some from present, and some, yet to be born as we worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. Respond to the call of the Holy Spirit and come, believing God to build and fill us up that we might be empowered and transformed, and see a great awakening here in Westminster and Central Mass. Come believing!

 Westminster Community

Thanksgiving Dinner

The 2^ndAnnual Westminster Community Thanksgiving Dinner, held Monday, November 22^ndwent off without a hitch. The event, co- sponsored by the Ryan Patrick Jones Heart of a Hero Foundation, and hosted by the Bread of Life Church in Westminster, was a tremendous success. Great food, dinner theatre, live music and a great crowd, made for a wonderful evening for those in our community, as well as for the visitors from some of the surrounding towns.  “We were thrilled to watch many of last year’s attendees return and to meet so many new visitors. Both seatings were completely packed” said Pastor Gary Collette. ‘The first seating at 4:00 pm focused on honoring our town seniors and some of our veterans.  This year though, we were blessed to have in attendance Bruce, Cindy and Brian Vincent of Vincent’s Country Store and honor them for all their contributions to our town. The second seating at 6:00 pm was filled with a wide variety of people.  Whole families, some veteran’s homes from around the area, as well as some other group homes were in attendance. Although this is a free dinner able to bless those who may be struggling or in need, it is also open to anyone from our Westminster town family who desire to gather with others from our community around the holidays’. Kevin and Elaine Jones, parents of Ryan Patrick Jones, continued to extend their son’s generous heart through the presentation of donations from his foundation to various Veteran’s services and even to Bread of Life Church. 

Pastors Gary and Janis Collette share that “the goal for the night was to make sure that everyone who attended was well fed and left knowing how loved and appreciated they each were. Close to 250 complete Thanksgiving Dinners were served with over 70 being delivered to shut-ins.  Food was also donated to Our Father’s Table in Fitchburg.  We had to have a third seating after everyone left just to feed the over 50 ravenous volunteers who helped cooked and serve that night. As pastors of Bread of Life Church, there is nothing more fulfilling than watching your church family in action and working as a team. Every generation was represented and working side by side.  Whether it was those who provided and prepared the food, those who practiced for weeks for the theatre and music or the team who manned the registration tables to those who served, words alone cannot express how proud we are of them all.  A special thanks to our Pastor of Outreach, Pastor Chuck and his wife Patty Zierle for working so diligently with their team for the inspirational music and drama of “Thank Who?  For What?”.  There is much to be said about talking about God’s love for people.  It’s quite another thing to see that love in action. On behalf of the entire pastoral staff at Bread of Life Church and the Ryan Patrick Jones Heart of a Hero Foundation, it’s been an honor serving you.  Have a blessed and safe Christmas and holiday season”.
