August Sermon Series
You’ve Heard That It Was Said…. But I Say to You… One of the ways that Jesus is described and understood is as a teacher. Jesus taught through what he said and how he lived his life. But have you ever thought about how Jesus models for us approaches to interpreting scripture? When Jesus taught, he was often commenting on scriptures from the Hebrew Bible to explain how people should understand them and apply them to their lives. He corrected what he thought were misinterpretations and highlighted aspects of scripture he thought deserved more emphasis. Throughout August, we will focus on New Testament passages of scripture that describe how Jesus interpreted verses from the Hebrew Bible and what his interpretation can show us about how Christians can faithfully wrestle with scripture today. |

All-Church Picnic
On Sunday September 13, we will gather after worship for an All-Church Picnic. Rather than beginning the year with sign-up sheets and displays, we're trying something a little different. We hope the picnic will be a chance to slow down, enjoy one another's company, and have conversations about the many ways God is at work through our shared ministry. Whether you have been here most Sundays or you’ve been away for a while, we hope you will join us for a relaxed morning together. Wear casual clothes to worship and plan to stay afterwards for food, fellowship, and fun. The picnic will be held in the Parish Hall and, weather permitting, will extend onto the terrace and green spaces. By gathering right after worship, we hope it will be easy for everyone to stay for a little while or spend the whole morning together. |

Westminster’s doors are open, welcoming, and a way to service.
We are a large and vibrant congregation within the Presbyterian Church (USA). Founded by abolitionists in 1835, Westminster seeks to continue that spirit of advocacy for justice and mercy and to share the love of God in Jesus Christ within our world today.
Inspired by the radical hospitality of Jesus Christ, Westminster welcomes and affirms all of God’s children into the life of the church regardless of age, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, family makeup or socioeconomic situation, physical character or disability. We foster a safe environment, inviting all God’s children to share in the life of our faith community.
Our worship service, rich in liturgy and a variety of musical styles, is held in our Sanctuary and live streamed each Sunday morning at 10 o’clock. The service can be viewed anytime during the week on our main page under the Worship and Music tab by year then date.
We seek to build a thoughtful, developmentally informed ministry of education and spiritual formation. From the youngest to the oldest, we are committed to life-long learning as we honor the faith journey of each and are present with one another during the unexpected turns along the way.
We invite you to explore this website, read our brief FAQ, or contact our staff with questions.
