Year: 2024

9:30 & 11 am February 4 & 10 am February 11

After 41 years of ordained ministry, including over 8 years at Westminster, Rev. Jennie Clark retires from her call as Associate Pastor for Spiritual Growth. Come hear Pastor Jennie preach her final sermon during both morning worship on Sunday, February 4. We will recognize and celebrate Pastor Jennie on her final Sunday in a combined worship service at 10 am on February 11 with Director of Youth and College Ministries Chris Clark preaching. Following the service, we will gather in Spellman Hall for a church-wide reception.

If you would like to share thoughts and memories about Jennie’s leadership, you’re invited to drop off photos, cards or letters in baskets found in the Narthex during the first two Sundays in February. You also can contribute to a monetary “Love Gift” which Pastor Jennie will receive in worship on February 11. Participation is completely voluntary and anonymous. If you would like to donate toward this gift, there are several ways to do so, contact Ed McFalls for more info.

Westminster’s Preschool enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year began on Monday. If you have a child between 2-5 years old and are looking for a wonderful, part-time morning/afternoon preschool starting next fall, contact the preschool for registration materials. Registration is online only.

In this winter season, plans can change quickly. When snowy, icy weather is forecast, here’s where you can find church schedule changes:

• At the top of the church website in the black ALERTS bar
• Posted on Westminster’s social media channels (Facebook/X(Twitter)/Instagram)

It’s our practice NOT to send email notifications for every closing and schedule change as these can be frequent and not everyone subscribed to our email list needs the same information. 

12:30-1:30 pm January 15 – February 2

Have the dire headlines of conflicts around the world got you down? Wish there was some way you could help? Project CURE’s warehouse in Jennersville needs volunteers. Project CURE collects, sorts, repacks, and ships donated medical supplies to countries in need worldwide. Just since December, they sent to Ukraine six containers, and air shipments to Israel and Gaza. In 2023, 18 containers were sent all around the world.

There are volunteer opportunities for everyone – no experience required. Training provided. Help is urgently needed to sort and pack items arriving at the warehouse. Volunteers with any level of medical training are especially needed to audit specialized supplies before packing. The warehouse is open 9 am – 4 pm  Monday – Thursday and 9 am -12 pm on Friday. Come anytime your schedule permits. Click here for more info. Questions? Contact Rachel Rider. 

Once again we will adorn our sanctuary with poinsettia plants at Christmas. If you’d like to order a poinsettia plant in memory of or in honor of a loved one or friend, contact Barb Drain with your name and the dedication you would like listed in the bulletin. Cost is $10. Make checks payable to Westminster Presbyterian Church (with poinsettia on the memo line) and turn in to the church office. Session also encourages those who wish to contribute to the Endowment Fund in memory or honor of a loved one or friend to do so; names will also be listed.
