Congratulations to Lynn George, our Director of Communications, as she celebrates 10 years of devoted service to Westminster. We are grateful for her faithfulness, compassion and the many ways she has blessed our church community.

Mandy grew up in West Chester and graduated with a Psychology degree from UMass Boston, with a minor in Music. Recently, Mandy worked at West Chester Orthodontics and Pentahealth Family Practice. Mandy and her husband Albert have been married for 7 years and have 2 children, Ali and Atreus, and 2 cats, Gizmo and Tinkerbell. 

When not working, Mandy enjoys trying to keep up with her always entertaining 5 year old son, following her daughter’s adventures at Thomas Jefferson University studying Fashion Design, listening to music, singing, playing the piano, enjoying nature, practicing yoga, watching history documentaries, and spending time with family and friends. She is the very proud daughter of Jackie and Chip Steinmetz and grew up in Westminster. Both of Mandy’s children attended Westminster’s Preschool. She is thrilled to be a part of the Westminster family!

We invite you to walk our labyrinth in Spellman Hall starting Monday afternoon. Walking is a prayer in motion, an opportunity to reflect upon Jesus and the events that led to the cross, and invites us to be open to God who is on the journey with us. There will be stations around the outer perimeter of the labyrinth with a scripture and reflection for each day of Holy Week.

Interested in walking with others? We will offer facilitated group labyrinth walks as follows:

• 11:45 am-12:30 pm Wednesday, April 1
• 6:30-7:15 pm Thursday, April 2
• 1:00-1:45 pm Friday, April 3
