Women's Night Out will be at The Olive Garden at 6 pm on Monday, November 13. Hope to see everyone. RSVP to Michele at 408-402-2396 by November 12.
We are all invited to an ecumenical Thanksgiving (Eve) worship service at First Christian Church downtown on November 22 at 6:30 pm. Please contact the church office (krisha@salemwestpres.org) if you would be able to represent Westminster as a reader during the service or would like to participate in the all-comers choir (5 pm that evening). Music will be available ahead of time--talk to Jeffrey (music@salemwestpres.org).
Join together for a discussion on the Doctrine of Discovery--what it is and what the effects are on justice for all on Sunday, November 26, after service. Read the book The Land is Not Empty by Sarah Augustine (a copy will be available in the library soon), listen to this podcast interview, check out this article, or simply come to hear and learn! The discussion will be hosted by the Mission Peace Ecojustice committee.
Advent Craft Event is Sunday, November 26, from 2-4 pm in Boulder Hall. People of all ages and abilities are welcome to come make Advent wreaths, ornaments, paper crafts, and of course, a graham cracker house. We will also make some nature crafts to decorate one of the trees outside the church so the birds can celebrate too. Start the season off right with fellowship, snacks, hot cider, and creative fun!
Deck the Halls! Advent is coming (a little later than usual this year: note that it’s NOT beginning on Thanksgiving weekend!) and we need help decorating the church. Please join us for the annual decorating party on Saturday December 2 from 10 ‘til we’re done, or maybe around 1. Many hands make light work.
Christmas Journeys is coming! Please put December 10 on your calendars for the second annual production of our intergenerational telling of the Christmas story. Everyone who would like to participate is welcome. There are speaking, non-speaking, and crew parts, musicians, setup, takedown, and food prep needs, and room on the planning committee. If you would like to participate in any way, please contact Terri Crall as soon as possible (tcrall71@gmail.com).
