COMMUNITY
We’re committed to being in service with our local neighbors in Westminster.
Loaves & Fishes Community Meal
Each Saturday over a hundred people from the Westminster area come to lunch in the Fellowship Hall of The Westminster Church of the Brethren. Loaves and Fishes is an outreach ministry of our congregation with the goal to feed and assist those in need in our community. It has been providing meals each Saturday for over thirty years. When the pandemic restrictions are over the doors will open to the guests at 10:30 AM and a hot lunch is served from noon to 1:00 PM. Each week different Westminster congregations take turns providing meals and hosts from our congregation are always present to set up the dining area and assist during the meal and clean up.

Fixing, Assisting, Building Brethren) meets the second Saturday of the month. The morning begins at 7:00 AM with breakfast at Meadow Branch Church of the Brethren’s pancake breakfast. When that church is not serving breakfast in the summer, the group gathers at a local restaurant. The remainder of the morning is spent in service to a member of the congregation, to one another, and occasionally to meet a need in our community.
Community Yoga Classes
On most Mondays, the Westminster Church of the Brethren has a yoga class from 5:30 to 6:30 PM online through Skype. This class is appropriate for people from middle school up and will work for people with moderate fitness levels and above. Since this is a drop-in class, there are times when we may not have enough participants to run the class. Christy Magee is our regular instructor, but Tina Thomas is subbing for Christy while Christy is out on maternity leave. Cost per session attended is $5.
On most Wednesdays, we offer a chair yoga class in the Fellowship Hall from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This class is good for people with some physical limitations. Since this is a drop-in class as well, there are times when we may not have enough people to hold the class. Christy Magee is our regular instructor and Tina Thomas will sub for Christy while Christy is out on maternity leave. Cost per session attended is $5.
You may register for either class by calling our church office, Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 1 PM.
