On April 24, Westminster will celebrate the legacy of our wonderful Weekday School Director of 17 years, Kellie Dietert. All students, alumni, teachers, and friends of WWDS are welcome to join us.
FAQs:
Will there be childcare during the church service?
Yes! All WWDS students will be invited to sit with their parents at the beginning and then come forward to sing a song for Ms. Kellie during the children's message. After the song, they have the option to go with our nursery workers to have some play time. Some children may choose to remain with their parents the whole service, and that's fine too. We don't mind wiggles.
What if I can't make it to the church service?
You are welcome to just come for the party! We'll start at 12:15 and go until about 3pm.
Can teachers attend? Can we bring children?
Absolutely. Teachers, alumni, siblings, and any other friends of WWDS are invited and bring the kids! The whole day is family-friendly.
Is there a cost?
There is no cost for the party, but you’ll want to bring your wallet to enjoy lunch and treats from the food trucks!
How can I contribute to this special day for Kellie?
We welcome any contributions toward covering the festivities and Kellie’s gifts! Any proceeds exceeding the total combined event and gift cost (estimated ~ $4,000) will go directly to teacher bonuses. You can donate by texting “Westminster” to 73256 and selecting the fund "WDS Director Party" or send directly to our Venmo at @WestminsterUMCHTX and include the note: “WDS Director Party.” All contributions are welcome so if you prefer a different method, please contact the Church office.
How can I share a message with Kellie to thank her for all she has meant to our family over the years?
You’re in luck! We’ve made it super easy for everyone to show their love for Kellie in a beautifully bound message keepsake book. Simply follow this link https://www.newlywords.com/kellie-dietart-s-farewell. You will choose from several fun format options and include a written message and/or pictures. Be sure to do this soon! All contributions must be submitted by April 5 to be included in the book presented to Kellie at the 11:05 Sanctuary Service on April 24.
