The Benevolence Committee invited requests for support through the church newsletter and contacted organizations we supported last year. Applicants were asked to describe their program, involvement of any WPC members, new initiatives, and to provide rough budget information. The committee received requests total more than $140,000.
This Sunday, June 24, Brittany Caine-Conley and Rebecca McGregor will be showing pictures and recounting their very memorable and meaningful mission trip to our southern border, their interactions there with immigrants and those who provide care at the increasingly chaotic border. We will also hear of the cases of 6 trans women who our community is hoping to shelter as their asylum cases make their way through the courts. Next week, July 1, we’ll highlight local efforts to assist our immigrant neighbors close by, with representatives from CIRAC, International Neighbors, and others in our community. On July 8, we’ll be discussing a look ahead to what support people can express to uplift our community in the days surrounding the anniversary of the weekend of August 11-12. And we’ll conclude our discussion series on July 15 with a panel of representatives from gun violence prevention groups. We hope you’ll join us in the Library.
Looking ahead to July, the Little Summer Music series continues with a special voice recital given by Sophie Caplin and Ellie Weikle with Jonathan Schakel on piano. Sophie has just completed a bachelor of music degree at Duke University in vocal performance, and Ellie has just completed a bachelor of music education with an emphasis on voice at James Madison University. Both young women grew up in Westminster singing in the choirs. The concert will be Sunday, July 15 at 3:00 pm followed by ice cream in the courtyard. Please mark your calendars for this special event.
