Hear the Passion story in a worship service with scriptures and the Stations of the Cross. Celebrate the sacrament of the Lord's supper and reflect on Jesus' last supper. Worship will also include hymns and then watch as the chancel is stripped of all the familiar Christian symbols before you leave the Sanctuary in silence.

Good Friday is the day we remember Jesus’ crucifixion. The hours of noon to 3 p.m. are particularly significant as these commemorate the time Jesus hung on the cross. This worship service will include prayers, moments of silent reflection, and music.

Inquirer/New Member Class

Membership is often a natural next step for those who have already attended our church and begun to explore our ministries.  Joining a church is not like joining a club.  There are no dues or secret handshakes.  The only requirement is a profession of belief in Jesus Christ.  Whether you are proclaiming this belief for the first time or restating your commitment along with a letter of transfer from a former church, we rejoice with you!

Interested to learn more about or become a member of Westminster? This class is for you! All are welcome. There’s no obligation to join. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Childcare can be available if requested by October 18. The goals of the class are to:

Increase awareness and understanding of

• The basics of Christian faith and practice
• The Presbyterian Church (USA)
• Westminster Presbyterian Church

Provide experiences of

• Christian community as a place of support and encouragement
• Reflection and conversation on God’s relationship with us

Provide opportunities for:

• Deepening our commitment to Jesus Christ
• Making friends through the class
• Discovering ways to connect with ministries of Westminster

The registration deadline is Tuesday, October 18.

All are welcome. Register online. Questions, contact Jennie Clark.
