New Members Classes Coming!

by

Are you Interested in becoming a Westminster member? Looking for a place to call home and learn more about what it means “to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8). If you find yourself answering “yes” to any of these questions, then come to any or all of the new member classes offered in March: Sundays at 9:45 a.m. in room 208.

 

March 15

What is Westminster?

In this class, Ken Henry will talk with class members about the meaning of membership, as well as the various ministries at Westminster. You will leave this one-hour class with a greater appreciation of how the church is organized to carry out its mission and purpose in the world.

 

March 22

What is our mission?

In this class, Dorothy Piatt, with other church leaders, will talk about our benevolence giving and our commitment to other nonprofit organizations in Charlottesville, as well as how our church feels called to reach out to UVA students and faculty.

 

March 29

What does it mean to be a Presbyterian?

We are a congregation of the Reformed tradition in the Presbyterian Church(USA). For hundreds of years, our motto has been “Reformed and Always Reforming.” Ken will speak about the roots of the Protestant Reformation and the emergence of the Presbyterian Church in America.

Lenten Book Study

by

Lent in Plain Sight by Jill J. Duffield: God is often at work through ordinary people, ordinary objects, and ordinary grace. In this new book for Lent, Jill J. Duffield, editor of The Presbyterian Outlook and a Charlottesville resident, draws attention to ten ordinary objects that Jesus would have encountered on his way to Jerusalem. Each object will cause us to pause and reflect on the meaning of the season and its role in Christian formation. Please join us in Room 208 for Lent in Plain Site, a three-week study, running February 23, March 1 & 8 and led by Lynne Clements, Hal Collums and Jana Surdi. Books may be ordered from WJKbooks.com, Amazon or other booksellers.

“So faith, hope, and love abide, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.”
−1 Corinthians 13:13

Our Mission

Sustained by grace, we are called to serve Christ, share God’s love, and work for justice in a complex world.

Our Values

With faith, hope, and love as bedrock Christian values, we also cherish the following:
  • Thinking and Learning
  • Inclusiveness
  • Fellowship
  • Stewardship
  • Courage

 

Westminster follows the Presbyterian Book of Confession and is a confessional church. You can view/read the Book of Confession at the PC(USA) website by clicking on the following link: http://www.pcusa.org/book-confessions.
