Wednesdays from 12:00-1:00 pm, we're offering space and quiet for those impacted by the shutdown to sit, be, pray, think, whatever.
Our sanctuary will be open and dedicated to this need for anyone to come for any length of time during this timeframe. There won’t be anything to mark the beginning or end of this time, and there won't be any program. Just a chance for you to be in the space. Our minister will be available if you would like to talk.
Enter via the glass doors up the stairs near the parking lot. There is an elevator/accessible entrance to the left of those doors. Look for a sign directing you to the sanctuary.
Questions? Want to join a small group of federal workers to meet regularly? Interested in volunteer opportunities, such at a school food bank, serving lunch at SOME, resettlement support for refugees, etc.? Contact Yonce Shelton, Transition Minister, at yonce.wucc@gmail.com.
In March 2025, Westmoreland UCC hung a banner saying "Have mercy." on an exterior wall. It is inspired by Washington Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. During her sermon at the National Cathedral’s Service of Prayer for the Nation in January, she asked President Trump to “have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now.”
We lift up mercy because our hearts break ...
Whether it's your annual pledge, a flower donation, support for our outreach ministies, please contribute as you are able. ❤️
