Announcements
Our chancel flowers are
given each Sunday by members and friends of our congregation.
If you would like to donate flowers in honor of someone, in
memory of someone, or in celebration of an event, you may sign
up on the board in the Welles Room, or call the church office.
Ladies it is time for
our May Ladies Luncheon. Join us this Friday, May 21 from
12:10 to 12:40. Come and be blessed!
Food and Fellowship
Pot-Luck Dinner: Friday, May 21, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. All
invited to come and exchange ideas on how church members can
build and sustain a caring community for people hurt by what
is happening in the Albany job market and economic downtown.
Jobs are hard to find, and sometimes hard to keep. Friday
night’s program will be informal. Contact organizers Felicia
Kollie-Gambles or Lois Wilson if you would like an advance for
the food you’ll bring to the dinner or immediate
reimbursement on May 21.
Stroll the WPC
Neighborhood: Listen and learn while you walk around the
Center Square Neighborhood – the few blocks which
immediately surround Westminster. Harold Ruben, Past
President of the Center Square Neighborhood, and Kathy
Linhardt, a FOCUS breakfast organizer, will lead and narrate
groups during the Second Hour, May 23, starting and ending in
Assembly Hall. Ask your questions about the
concerns of residents. Hear significant history of the area.
Notice changes, deterioration, enhancements and observe
entrepreneurial efforts near WPC. Who lives next to the
church? What key things might Westminster do to be more
involved and helpful in our neighborhood? It’s all
happening May 23 so wear your favorite walking shoes and plan
to be part of the stroll. Those in wheelchairs or
desiring a shorter walk, will experience a shorter trip around
the block with Kathy Linhardt. Anyone eager to explore
further will be guided by Harold Ruben down to the Jay Street
turn around. In the event of rain, pull up a chair in
Assembly Hall to take a verbal tour.
Annual Picnic: Be part
of the fun! Sunday, June 6 everyone will gather for food, fun
and fellowship at the Menands Town Park beginning at noon.
For generations, Westminster Presbyterians have enjoyed
this casual outing time together. Mark your calendar now
and plan to join this festive event. Meats, beverages,
ice, table service and paper products are furnished. You
may contribute to the meal by bringing a side dish, salad or
dessert to share. Children and families are
encouraged to bring lawn games to share. Lawn chairs may
provide the comfort you need to fully enjoy a lovely, warm,
summer day in the park with friends. Directions to the
Menands Town Park will be available soon. Let’s make more
WPC memories together!
FOCUS Interfaith Food
Pantry: During the month of May Westminster is asked to donate
toilet paper. Donations may be left in the bin located in the
Chestnut Street hallway.
Please join us on
facebook: Our group is Westministers.
