Westminster College to Honor Martin Luther King Jr.
Westminster College has several events on campus to honor the birth of Martin Luther King Jr.
Sunday, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m. – A Vespers service in Wallace Memorial Chapel will feature the Rev. Angel De La Cruz, a Presbyterian pastor from the Word Centered Fellowship. Under the direction of Cynthia Ragster, the Shenango Valley Praise Team will provide special music at the service. A reception will follow worship.
"Angel became a Presbyterian pastor after his experience at the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and has led Word Centered to become the first new church commissioned by the Shenango Prestbytery in 80 years," said the Rev. James Mohr, chaplain of Westminster College. "Word Centered is a multi-ethnic, charismatic church."
"Westminster Titan radio will broadcast the worship service live," said Dr. David Barner, chair of the Department of Communication Studies, Theatre, and Art. "For those who do not receive the 88.9 FM signal, the service can also be heard via computer by going to www.titanradio.net and then clicking on the radio logo to listen.
Following the Vespers broadcast, Titan Radio will feature the "Covenant" show hosted by Brian Campbell, a senior broadcast communications major from Grove City and Pam Marlowe, a sophomore broadcast communications major from Harmony.
"This show, featuring Christian music and talk about the artists, fits in with the Christian ideals of Westminster College," Marlow said. "This show is Brian's senior project idea, so this is its first year to air."
