We will not host our regular weekly education event tonight. Instead, we invite you to Westminster’s Maundy Thursday worship service at 7 p.m. (see information below). Join us for our next peace and justice education event on April 4!

Join us for an update on legislative initiatives under consideration in the current session of the Delaware legislature. Action is under way on a broad range of issues that affect Delawareans and offer opportunities for advocacy – in support or opposition. Come learn more about bills of interest, the steps they go through, and how you can have a voice at each step in the process! Hosted by Westminster’s Peace & Justice Work Group.

Join us for this peaceful, prayerful walk through the center of Wilmington to promote an end to racial and social injustice and to reduce gun violence in our city. We gather in the SsAM parking lot with people from various faith communities to share in this active, visible commitment to justice and peace. We walk in silence, ending at Rodney Square. Please join us! And share this invitation with people you know who are supportive of these goals.

“To what purpose, April, do you return again? Beauty is not enough.” – Edna St Vincent Millay

We do have a purpose for April – to resupply Hanover Food Closet and assist them in meeting the needs of those who, through no fault of their own, are desperate for help with cereal, nonperishable foods, or personal items. We will be in the church parking lot – April showers or not – on Sunday, April 7, from 8:30 to 9:00 a.m. waiting for you to shower us with your generosity. (You can also leave items in the containers inside the church entrance anytime.)

Our recent ECHO Gifts to Palestine have brought much needed food and medical supplies to the children of Palestine. Palestinian children and adults have been experiencing unspeakable horrors since October 7, but their struggle for liberation has been far longer, more than 75 years. Please join Nora Whisnant (President DE Chapter PCRF), Dr. Nadine Kazzaz (Nurse Anesthetist, Cooper University Hospital) and Dr. Afnan Albahiri (Pediatrician, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia) as they share the history of Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), the role of PCRF in Palestine (West Bank and Gaza) since October 7, and future PCRF plans once the war in Gaza has ended.

Consider giving the flowers for Sunday worship to remember or honor loved ones or to celebrate an event, while expressing praise and thanksgiving to God. Please contact Linda Watson at (302) 571-6719 or lwatson@ycst.com. Flower donation available dates are April 7, April 21, May 26, June 2, and June 30.

Knowing our past enables us to move forward in more meaningful ways. Join us Wednesday evenings in person or via Zoom on a journey through American history unlike any other you have taken. We will see how the events of our past have led us to our present situation, gain new perspectives on current events, and be inspired to act in support of equity and justice. This class series will offer you a safe place to explore, to learn, and to grow. We believe you will find this experience to be eye-opening, empowering, and energizing. We look forward to sharing it with you! Please register for this class series via our online form.
