Upcoming Events

Looking for new plants in your garden this year? Needing to divide your perennials? Check out Westminster's plant share! Drop off a plant or seeds to share on Saturday, May 18, under the front portico and then stop by Sunday morning to pick up a new plant.  Even if you don't share seeds or a plant, you may pick up a new plant! All plant donations should be labeled and indicate what type of light the plant requires (full sun, partial or shade). Please be conscious of bringing non-invasive plants to the plant share. Click here to see a list of PA's invasive species. Questions? Contact Rick Griste.

Join us for a fun end of year picnic at Tyson Park! Play games in the open space or on the playground before we enjoy a picnic dinner together. The church will provide burgers/dogs/buns as well as plates/utensils/cups. Please sign up to indicate what you can bring. There are a few picnic tables but pack a blanket and/or some lawn chairs to make sure everyone has a seat. Bring some outdoor games/activities for all to enjoy. RSVP • Questions? Contact Jon Frost or Jill Reichert.

Art Exhibit: 9:00 am-12:15 pm Sunday, May 19 • Spellman Hall
Partnering with Justice Restored 3.0, a collaboration between AHHAH and Chester County Futures, we will host an art exhibit which celebrates the writing and drawings of young people from inside and outside the Chester County Juvenile Detention Center. On every page their fears and hopes shout out in strong language and vibrant illustration. This is an invitation to witness and listen to the youth of our communities, finding a way to connect to their lives and needs. 

Pentecost Special Offering: This year's recipient of Westminster's local portion (40%) of the Pentecost Special Offering will go to Hearts Holding Hands (AHHAH). Learn more about AHHAH at our Pentecost Journey Class. Donate to our Pentecost Special Offering.

Journey Class: 10:45 am Sunday, May 19 • Spellman Jr & Zoom
Jan Michner, the Founder and Executive Director of Arts and Hearts Holding Hands (AHHAH), will lead our Journey Class about her work around justice and equity for youth in under-resourced communities. You will learn about the restorative work AHHAH does in Chester County and interact with the reflections of young people in our area.

Join the Lunch Bunch for a time of fellowship and a delicious relaxing informal lunch at Osteria Ama near 202 & Street Rd. They meet on the 4th Thursday each month. RSVP to Carol Olver or Carol Edwards if you wish to attend so we can reserve a spot for you!

How do I motivate someone with Alzheimer’s? What should I NOT say to someone with dementia? If you are asking questions like these, then please join others for a monthly support group. We will gather at 6 pm in Spellman Junior or on Zoom on the 4th Tuesday of each month excluding August & December. For more info or to receive the Zoom link to join virtually, please contact Pastor Ann or Page Hinkle.
