    The men’s retreat returns after four years! Men of all ages, 16 years and older, are invited to travel down to the beautiful Chesapeake Bay to enjoy a rich time of fellowship and spiritual renewal. Their speaker this year is Rev. Steve Clark and their theme is Driving Lessons: Guidance for the Road(s) Most Travelled. 

    Getting from Here to There in a car is a near-universal (and sometimes frustrating) experience for us. At this retreat we’ll take a look at the challenges and surprises we encounter on those journeys, and reflect on what they can teach us about navigating the path of walking with Christ. (Spoiler alert: expect a lot of “recalculating” along the way.)

    The weekend starts with check-in from 4-6pm on Friday, April 24 at Sandy Cove Retreat Center. Activities begin with dinner on Friday from 5:30-6:45pm, followed by a Welcome and Session 1. The retreat concludes around noon on Sunday, April 26, following our time of worship.

    • Friday Evening:  Where Do You Want to Go?
    • Saturday Morning:  Driving in Traffic
    • Saturday Afternoon:  Road Signs
    • Saturday Evening:  Recalculating
    • Sunday Morning:   On the Road Again

    Location: Westminster

    This year we are again holding our women’s retreat on site at Westminster. Women of all ages, 16 years and older, are invited to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy a rich time of fellowship and spiritual renewal. Our theme is "Soul Tending at the Threshold." When the life we've known gives way, and it’s not yet clear what will emerge, we're at a threshold. The threshold is a space in-between which can be disorienting and unsettling. Yet, it can also be energizing, ripe with possibility and full of creative potential.  At the threshold, practices of soul-tending deepen our engagement with each other and awaken our curiosity, that we may be drawn into the current of God’s love. Come as your schedule allows - for the full retreat on Friday and Saturday, or only for Friday or Saturday. 

    Retreat Schedule 

    5:00 - 8:00 pm Friday
    Dinner, conversation, and opening reflection on Soul-Tending At the Threshold.

    8:45 am - 5:00 pm Saturday 
    Light breakfast, connecting with others in small groups, deepening our
    reflection on our retreat theme through Scripture small group conversation, and engagement with contemplative practices designed to tend our souls at the threshold.  After lunch, there will be more small group time, a closing reflection on ‘Crossing the Threshold’, and closing worship with communion.

    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. 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

    All are welcome. Register online. Questions? Contact Jennie Clark
