Early Bird Registration Open for the Men’s Retreat

April 25-27, 2025 • Sandy Cove Retreat Center
Life is….Joyful. Hard. Amazing. Confusing. Complex! Sometimes it seems like you are surfing the rapids of a fast moving river – or maybe it feels like you have been turned upside down. Join other guys at Westminster for our annual men’s retreat. Rev. Dr. Michael Wilson will help us encounter A.W.E. (Adventure, Wonder, Enthusiasm) and start to thrive in life and leadership. You can start to chart a course through life (no matter how young or “not-young” you are!) that follows Jesus and helps you flourish. Click here to register.

This year the offering will go to the Cradles to Crayons nonprofit located in Philadelphia. All money that we collect will go toward the purchase of clothing for children in low-income families.

Have You Received Suspicious Emails from Westminster Staff?
January 30, 2025A number of members received an email yesterday that claimed to be from Pastor Leah. On closer look, these emails were not coming from Leah.They were coming from a false Gmail account, pastoroffice2242@gmail.com. We’ve taken steps to stop the problem, but it could happen again. Here’s what you should know:
The church staff will NEVER email you to ask for gift cards, money, or special favors. They also won’t ask you if you’re free to communicate via email or text.
- If something in a subject line or an email looks suspicious or sounds out of character, it probably is. Read carefully.
- Check the origin email address, even if you recognize the sender’s name. You may need to click on the name for the full email address to be visible. Usually the false emails were sent from a Gmail account.
- Remember that all church emails do NOT end with gmail.com Church emails end with westminsterpc.org.
- Please let us know if you receive something suspicious so we can take action.
- Mark all false email as spam, phishing or move it to your junk email folder.
- If you’re still not sure about an email you received, call or text the staff member, send them a new email or contact the church office at 610-399-3377 before you reply.

Following the service, we will gather in Spellman Hall for a church-wide reception.
If you would like to share thoughts and memories about Ann’s leadership, we invite you to drop off photos, cards or letters in baskets found in the Narthex during the first two Sundays in February.
