Opportunities for Youth (grades 6-12)
At Westminster, we believe our youth can teach us much about God, faith, and spirituality. If you are in grades 6-12, please consider joining us for the journey!
SENIOR HIGHS - WESTMINSTER WEDNESDAY
Grades 9-12: Wednesday night activities are the heart of the senior high program – an hour and fifteen minutes of music, discussion, Bible study, projects, and prayer. For the year 2007-2008, the theme will be "Caring For God's Creation." No two weeks are the same, but each week we try to grow a little closer to each other and to God. New senior high youth are always welcome! During the summer, the youth travel out-of-state on a mission retreat each year.
THE GROUP - WESTMINSTER WEDNESDAY
On Wednesday nights, our sixth and seventh graders enjoy games, tackle mission projects, and learn how the Bible speaks to us in the 21st century. A summer mission retreat is an annual event for the Group. For details, e-mail Sandi.
CONFIRMATION - WESTMINSTER WEDNESDAY
Led by one of our pastors, this is an opprtunity for eighth-graders to explore their faith and learn about church membership. For information, e-mail Mary Beth.
THE GROUP/HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR
Youth in grades 6-12 sing in the Group/High School choir, which rehearses on Wednesday nights and sings frequently for the Sanctuary worship services. For more information, e-mail Beth Ann.
All youth are invited to participate in one of several handbell choirs.
SUNDAY SCHOOL FOR GRADES 6-12
Sunday school classes for Westminster youth are relevant and engaging. On Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. (September through May), grades 6 & 7 meet together in Room 305, and grades 8-12 meet in the Senior High Room. For more information, e-mail Sandi.
