Looking for a place to volunteer?  Broad Street Love (formerly Broad Street Ministry) located at 315 South Broad Street in Philadelphia offers radical hospitality to all people in their community.  Westminster sends up to 3 volunteers to help serve, bus, and clean up lunch at the 10:30 am – 2 pm Sanctuary Lunch Service on the third Thursday of each month. The next opportunity would be on Thursday, January 16.  Questions?  Contact Joseph Kefauver.

If you took a luminary bag home to decorate please return to the table in the Narthex by December 22 for us to use on Christmas Eve. Help is needed for assembling, staging and/or lighting the luminaries on Christmas Eve. You are welcome to sign up for more than one slot. Click here to sign up.

• Where do you notice signs of Christ’s peace in a conflicted and violent world?
• When have you ever been surprised by God’s grace?
