The need for gift donations is great this year and we need your help to share God’s love at Christmas! Thank you for helping make this holiday season special for those in need. The gifts for each organization – Pocopson Nursing Home, Family Promise, and Migrant Ministries are full. Please drop off your gifts in the Narthex on Sunday, November 26 or Sunday, December 3. We will deliver the gifts on Wednesday, December 6. We still need 20 people to help moms provide gifts for the Domestic Violence Center. Signup below. Contact Angela Emrich or Debbie Zakarian if you need to make other arrangements for drop off or assistance with gift delivery.

10:45 am December 3, 10, 17 & January 7 • Hybrid (Spellman Jr. & Zoom)

In his four-week DVD series, In Heaven and Earth: Advent and the Incarnation, Will Willimon introduces us to the God who brings heaven to earth and changes everything. God’s choice of incarnation allows us to reflect on the mystery that Christ is the full revelation of God instead of someone who talks about God or speaks for or acts as God. Through this study, led by Pastor Jennie, Pastor Leah and Ernie Kimmel, we will explore the paradox of Jesus as both fully human and fully divine. In Advent, we celebrate and anticipate the earth-shaking, life-transforming good news that God is coming to us. Watch out. Get ready. God is on the way. Click here to attend via Zoom. Questions? Contact Jennie Clark.

As you start to decorate your home for the Christmas season and find old or broken lights, drop them off in a bin located in Spellman Hall or Café 10 West between December 3 and January 7. We will deliver the lights to a recycling location so they don’t end up in a landfill. The lights will be broken down to recover their raw commodities, which can be used to create construction materials, electronics, and other items. Thank you so much for your participation!

Calling all bakers and prayer warriors! We need your help to support the students at Cheyney University during their finals week. Westminster would like to encourage them at the end of the semester with baked goods and prayers. We ask volunteers to bake three or more dozen cookies or brownies and package them in zip lock bags. Three cookies per bag or one large brownie per bag. Drop them off in Spellman Hall on Sunday, December 3. If you are interested in participating, contact Nancy Tuttle

We’re very grateful for the 315 households who pledged $1,325,941 or 63% towards our 2024 annual giving campaign. Pledges represent approximately 89% of our operating budget and inform us of what we can spend in 2024. Without your pledge commitment, we must make hard decisions on programming, staffing, and building priorities based on scarcity instead of possibility. The challenge is to work toward a tithe (10% of your income). Your pledge for Abundant Life at Westminster manifests a promise for the future. If you missed Commitment Sunday, you can still pledge online or by mailing your pledge card to the church. Thank you for your support of Westminster’s mission and ministry in 2024 Questions? Sandy Kurek

We are grateful to everyone who contributed to our annual Peace & Global Witness Offering. As a result of your generous donations, we collected almost $3,800! Twenty-five percent of this amount will remain at Westminster to be shared with two of our ministry partners: Angels Against Addiction and the Community Warehouse Project. The remainder of the money will be used to support the work of peace and reconciliation in our region and across the globe through the PC(USA). Thank you so much for your participation and generosity!
