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.

We are looking for Advent Candle Lighters during worship in Advent and Christmas Eve. You can do this as an individual, family or with a friend – the possibilities are plentiful! You will be provided with the instructions ahead of time as well as any readings if there are any, though it may simply be lighting the candle for that particular Sunday. Click here to signup.

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.
