Opening words by Don West
Song by Dean Camlin
Song by Eddie Brooks – I’ll
fly away.
"I'll Fly Away"
Some bright morning when this
life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on Gods
celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and
by
I'll fly away
When the shadows of this life
have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison
walls I'll fly
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and
by
I'll fly away
Oh how glad and happy when we
meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on
my feet
I'll fly away
I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and
by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and
by
I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days
and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will
never end
I'll fly away
I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and
by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away

Prayer by Westminster Fire
Dept. Chaplain
Ms. Vogel was a lovely person
who steadfastly supported the Westminster community and the Westminster Fire
Department. We lift Jeannie and her family, co-workers, and friends into our
hearts and pray for comfort and healing at this terrible time. She will be
greatly missed.
On behalf of the men and
woman of the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department
The Westminster Fire Engine
and Hose Company No.1 extends its sympathy to the family and loved ones of
Jeannie Vogel of the JeannieBird Baking Co., our neighbor on Main St in
Westminster, who died in yesterday’s traffic accident.
O god of grace and glory, we
remember before you today our sister Jeannie Vogel
We thank you for giving her
to us to know and to love as a companion in our pilgrimage on earth and our
service to our community.
Our thoughts and prayers are
with the family at this very difficult time.
Those we love don't go away.
They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved,
still missed and very dear.
May memories of happy times
sustain us, the support of family and friends comfort us, and may God's love
embrace you and your family and bring you peace.
In your boundless compassion,
console us who still mourn.
Give us faith to see that
death has been swallowed up in the victory of our Lord, so that we may live in
confidence and hope until, by your call, we are gathered to our heavenly home
in the company of all your saints.
+++++++++
We also say a prayer for the
firefighters, EMS personnel, state highway workers, and police officers who
left their homes in the middle of night to respond to this terrible accident.
They fought the fire, freezing temperatures, ice, and multiple dangers of the
accident this morning at Rte. 27 and Kate Wagner Road.
God of earth and air, water
and fire, height and depth, we pray for those who work in danger,
Who rush in to bring hope and
help and comfort when others flee to safety,
Whose mission is to seek and save,
serve and protect, and whose presence embodies the protection of the Good
Shepherd.
Give them caution and concern
for one another, so that in safety they may do what must be done, under your
watchful eye.
Support them in their courage
and dedication that they may continue to save lives, ease pain, and mend the
torn fabric of lives and social order. Amen.

Westminster Fire Department responds to accident on Route 140
A serious motor vehicle accident at the intersection of
Route 140 and Englar Road snarled traffic for several hours Saturday evening
just outside of Westminster.
Emergency units responded quickly to the scene. Upon arrival,
Westminster Fire Department Lt. Guy Garheart found a two-vehicle motor vehicle
accident in the middle of the intersection. A Taneytown police officer on his
way to work had happened upon the scene and was assisting the response.
Although there was significant property damage to both vehicles, fortunately
no-one was injured seriously in the accident. 
And fortunately, no first responders - police officers, EMS
providers or firefighters were hurt. This, in spite of a series of several
serious incidents in which drivers drove around the cones and flares at traffic
control points – and through the accident scene, in order to hasten their
travels - directly endangering the lives of the first responders.
