Why
Sundays are not about "getting religion" for just one day a week, but about motivating, celebrating, and sustaining the spirituality we have and yearn to make stronger. We want to build a bridge between spiritual wisdom and the whole of the life we live. That's what our Sunday service is about at WellSprings.
What can I expect at a Sunday Service?
On a typical Sunday, our service contains:
- A Chance to Sing Together: Congregants sing along with the song leaders if they wish (lyrics are projected onto a screen). We sing contemporary, spiritually themed pop, rock, folk, and country songs from the last several decades, as well as traditional gospel and spirituals.
- A Chance to Get to Know Each Other: Rev. Ken invites people to greet others seated nearby and to wish each other peace.
- A Chance to Be Silent and at Peace Together: We have times for both meditation and prayer.
- A Chance to Know What's Happening: There's a brief reading of one or two featured announcements and direction to where people can find out more information about WellSprings if they're looking for it.
- A Chance to Share our Generosity: We take up a collection for our community giving partner, The Clinic in Phoenixville – there's no pressure, and no one is expected to give.
- A Chance For People of All Ages to Grow: Children are invited to go to YouthSpirit classes – parents can walk their children to the room and get them settled. Some children choose to stay with their parents for the adult service, which is not a problem. YouthSpirit Director Becky McAndrews helps new families get oriented to the program.
- A Chance to Reflect on the Deeper Meaning of Our Lives: Rev. Ken delivers an inspirational, profound, literate, and often funny message.
- A Chance for Conversation: Coffee and doughnuts are served during social time. All are welcomed to stay, but again, no pressure.
- We hope you leave feeling better than you did when you arrived – inspired, enlivened, and "charged full with the charge of the soul," in the words of our mission (borrowed from the poet Walt Whitman).
We look forward to seeing you some Sunday morning!

YouthSpirit
Sunday Classes/Springboards
Our YouthSpirit Summer Program begins with a relaxed time of fellowship for WellSprings children. Taking a break from our regular classes, the summer program provides supervised play time on the playground on good weather days; and games, coloring and ‘Kids Spiritual Cinema’ in the cafeteria when the weather doesn’t quite cooperate for outdoor fun. The Nursery and Pre-K will be open all summer from 10:00 AM until service ends for our youngest children.
