Adult Opportunities

Continuing through Pentecost Sunday, May 29, Hugo Lehmann will offer a class for adults. This class will meet in the Choir Room. 

 

“The Wired Word”, a class which features Biblical commentary and discussion questions related to a topic in the news that week, meets each Sunday morning during Adult Learning Hour. During the discussion, current events can be related to relevant Scripture passages with group discussion about how the verses apply to everyday life. This class meets in Room A-112 in the Education wing adjacent to the Children’s Chapel.

 

Fifteen 8th graders will be confirmed at the 8:45 worship service on Mothers’ Day, May 13th. They have studied and discussed Christian theology, the Bible, the Confessions and Creeds, the Sacraments and discipleship on Wednesday afternoons since last September. In February, they attended a 2 day confirmation retreat at Stronghold. In addition to taking tests over the study materials, each confirmand completed a number of worship review sheets which included careful sermon notes. Finally, each student wrote his or her individual Statement of Faith and presented it to the Session at the April meeting.

 

Following the 8:45 service, the confirmation class will be available during Coffee Hour to greet the congregation. Cake and punch will be served.

The confirmation class includes: Abbi Buelow, Caroline Entsminger, Annie Harris, Lexi Johnson, Erin Markley, Brittany Micho, Kate Murphy, DeeDee Parry, Shelbee Robinson, AJ Schmitt, Katy Simpson, Maddie Smith, Will Ulferts, Jon Ward, and Francie Witt.

 

The new format for the New Members class of a one evening seminar style was successful in March and will be repeated May 15, from 6 until 8:30 pm in the

church library. Child care will be available – please let the church office know if you will need this service.

 

Anyone who is interested in learning more about membership at Westminster Presbyterian is invited to join this informal gathering. A tour of the church is included in the evening. Information about the church, our beliefs and our organization will be provided. In addition, a get acquainted time will include members of the WPC staff and the members of the Session. In May, this one time gathering will take the place of the four Sunday morning classes and the concluding Tuesday evening with the Session.
