New Artwork Gift to Westminster
When lifelong member, Brenda Lehan wanted to memorialize her parents, John and Joan Launer, she turned to Westminster's own resident artist, Patty Kirk.
The Launers were founding members of Westminster who worked tirelessly to ground the congregation in 1964 and nurtured her in the six decades following. Patty had already been envisioning a portrait of Queen Esther, whose courageous faithfulness had saved her fellow Jewish people from destruction. The often-quoted passage, "And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14) spoke to Esther in her day and situation, to the Launers and Lehans in their faith journeys, and to all of us as we seek the courage to follow where God is leading.
Thank you to Brenda Lehan for your vision and for commissioning this beautiful painting, and to Patty Kirk for your amazing talent in bringing this story and this biblical heroine to life.
