20071008 Jeff and Joe discover a giant lava lamp
Jeff and Joe discover a giant lava lamp October 8th, 2007 by Kevin Dayhoff
Recently while Joe and Jeff were working late one night, they stumbled upon a giant spacecraft lava lamp submerged underwater at the northeast end of town.
Of course, this discovery piqued their curiosity.
The 900,000-gallon reservoir had not been emptied in years. Jeff was at once concerned about the discovery and consulted a local historian, Kevin.
According to Kevin, in ancient Westminster folklore, a Giant Spacecraft Lava Lamp was once the focal point of an ancient Westminsterian religion of which it had always been suggested that it was based on an ancient historical fact.
That the ancestors of the Westminster area had arrived by a giant lava lamp spacecraft – and that the spacecraft had been secreted away, somewhere near the City of Westminster.
A religion evolved over the worship of the giant lava lamp spacecraft. It has persistently been rumored to still be secretly practiced in and around the hills of Westminster.
Could Jeff and Joe have discovered the ancient lava lamp spacecraft? Well first they needed to drain the reservoir in order to investigate.
That needed to be done as confidentially as possible so as to not start a media feeding frenzy.
In this ancient religion, every residence maintained an altar, centered on a gazing ball, many of which can still be found in the area.
This gazing ball altar was used to communicate with the spirit of the Great Lava Lamp Parent who resided in the Temple of the Great Lava Lamp.
Pink Flamingos, which are indigenous to the Westminster area, were considered to be the messenger bird of the Great Lava Lamp Parent.
Pink Flamingos are now on the endangered species list and, where their nests - inverted tractor tires - are found; by law they cannot be disturbed.
It is hoped that further excavations will provide insight into the culture of the Carthaginians who settled Westminster after the Third Punic War.
This, of course had Joe and Jeff curious as they found no gazing ball or pink flamingos in the area… But they were determined to investigate further…
As further details become available we will keep you informed.

St. Paul's United Church of Christ at 17 Bond Street in Westminster
Weekend church adventures: This week's adventures take me to St. Paul's United Church of Christ at 17 Bond Street in Westminster. Sunday, 7April2019.
I had a rare early Sunday morning meeting. I found myself looking at the clock at 10:30 and decided to venture over to St. Paul's UCC for the 10:45 a.m. service. It could not have been more convenient.
Pastor Marty Kuchma's sermon was on the history and traditions of communion, one of the two sacraments in the United Church of Christ.
C. S. Lewis once said, the commandment is 'come and eat,' not necessarily, 'come and understand.'

Coffee with a Westminster Cop
Coffee with a Cop – Sat. morning, 6April2019. I thought Coffee with a Cop went well. A number of folks stopped by. We had a good number of police officers on hand to answer questions. One of the police officers brought his family to the event. It was all good. A fresh perspective and new ideas are needed in any organization – I think we are headed in the correct direction.

Grace Lutheran Church. Saturday late afternoon, 30March2019
Grace Lutheran Church. Saturday late afternoon, 30March2019, Caroline, and I had Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster all to ourselves as we took care of some altar guild responsibilities. Just as folks have done since 1867.
When we have the church sanctuary all to ourselves, I always want to whisper aloud to the stained glass windows that there is no one around – tell me all your stories. Often I want to just sit on a pew and just absorb it all.
Can you imagine all the stories that the sanctuary has to tell?

Shepherd’s Staff Empty Bowl Soup Meal on Sunday, March 31, 2019 at St. John's Portico
Caroline, Grammy, and I really enjoyed attending the 3rd annual Shepherd's Staff Empty Bowl Soup Meal on Sunday, March 31, 2019 at St. John's Portico. The place was packed. We saw lots of good friends and really enjoyed the soup. That said, I usually enjoy any event in which food is served and Caroline and I are real soup hounds. And we helped raise money for a good cause.
The ticket price included soup, bread, water and a take-home ceramic bowl as a reminder of those whose bowls remain empty.
At Empty Bowls we had a delicious sampling of soups provided and served by some of the area's best restaurants – and many of our favorite restaurants including Bud's at Silver Run, Buttersburg Inn, The Food Chick, Forbidden City, Giulianova's, Greenmount Station, Maggie's, Mediterraneo, Mollie's Cafe, O'Lordan's, Oscar's Alehouse, and Rare Opportunity Bakehouse.
The Empty Bowls event was created to bring awareness to hunger of all types, foster community, and raise funds to support those in need.
