Due to colder weather, our Children’s Spiritual Growth team is moving Sunday Morning KidsConnect inside to the large group area downstairs in the Heckert Center/Preschool wing. For families not comfortable having their children inside for KidsConnect we will make the curriculum available to use it at home with their children. Children and leaders will continue to be masked and kids will continue to come directly to KidsConnect. Questions or to receive curriculum, contact Diane DeSieno-Lane.
We are collecting warm coats and blankets/ sleeping bags in the month of November. The West Chester Food Cupboard has been supplying food to 350 families in the West Grove area. A need that has been expressed by many is for blankets/sleeping bags for the winter. We are also looking for men’s, women’s and children’s warm winter coats/jackets in all sizes. Please keep in mind we CANNOT accept long men’s and women’s dress coats. In the past we have collected close to 400 coats so let’s try to keep that goal in mind. All coats are going to eight local organizations. Racks will be set up in the sanctuary. Blankets and sleeping bags can be dropped off in designated bins throughout the church. You can order donations on line and have them delivered directly to Westminster. Questions? Contact Laureen Smith.
