Peacemaking Offering

Seventy five percent of the peacemaking offering in October has been sent to the denomination, while $1,000 was given to Project One, the local agency that serves those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS.

Turkey Collection: Sunday, November 16

Please bring a frozen turkey to Westminster on Sunday morning between 8:00 to 12:00. The Cares Food Network van will be parked near the front entrance to the church and you may deposit your donation there. Turkeys will be delivered to the food cupboard clients before Thanksgiving.

Coat Collection: During the month of November

Luke 3:11: "Whoever has two coats must share with him who has none." Please bring one or more coats to be given to our Chester County neighbors. Coat racks are waiting in the sanctuary for men's, women's and children's coats in good condition.

Alternative Gift Market: Sunday mornings, November 16 and 23 and December 7 and 14

Each year we sell a few products that benefit those who made or produced them. We also select six ministries or agencies that are actively participating in the work of God's Kingdom, and encourage our members and friends to give monetary donations to these organizations in honor of some people on their Christmas list. The market will be held in The Cove, which is located in The Heckert Center.

Homeless Single Women's Shelter: December 15 through December 29

Westminster will be hosting the shelter for these two weeks. Women who would like to volunteer for an evening or overnight shift at the shelter should contact Angela Emrich at aebdr.emrich@verizon.net . Read an article about the women's shelter in the newsletter of Chester County's Department of Community Development.
