SUMMARY:Veritas Thanksgiving Food Drive

SUMMARY:Communion Servers Needed
DESCRIPTION:Attention all ordained Elders and Deacons: We are in need of communion servers to help on the first Sunday of each month. You do not need to be actively serving on Session or the Board of Deacons. Your ordination is lifelong. Sharing the bread and cup is a joyful way to participate in Christ’s welcome and grace. And if you’re new to serving communion\, we’ll show you how! \nNeeded for first Sundays\, all worship services. \nPlease contact Laura Bentley at bentley@westminster-church.org.

SUMMARY:WROC Talk: The Legacy of Freedom House Ambulance Service: A Lesson in Resiliency\, Perseverance and Determination
DESCRIPTION:Freedom House Ambulance Service was established in 1967 by Freedom House\, a Pittsburgh civil rights organization that offered training and assistance to unemployed Black men and women. This service was created for the people of the Hill District who were not receiving the care that was needed\, and because of this\, we now have the emergency services that we know of today across the U.S.   \nJoin us as John tells the extraordinary story of an unjustly forgotten group of Black men in Pittsburgh who became the first paramedics in America\, saving lives and changing the course of emergency medicine around the world. \nAbout the Speaker\nJohn Moon is a former Freedom House emergency medical technician and retired Assistant Chief of Pittsburgh Emergency Medical Service. John was raised in Pittsburgh’s Hill District and joined Freedom House\, America’s First Emergency Medical Service\, in 1972. He continued to work in emergency medicine for more than five decades and now works to preserve Freedom House legacy and mentor the next generation of emergency and community responders in Pittsburgh. \nRegister today.
