Westminster Wednesday... WOW! Fun for all ages!
From September to April, Westminster is a lively place on Wednesdays! The mid-week gathering is an evening of food, fun, music, and learning for both children and adults. Participants are divided by age for classes, choirs, bell choirs, and other activities. The highlight of the evening is a delicious family meal prepared by our very own chef. The cost is nominal, but the food is terrific! Join us when Westminster Wednesday begins again on September 10, 2008!
WESTMINSTER WEDNESDAY GROUPS:
Birth through age 3 – CHILDCARE
Continuous childcare is provided for infants and toddlers.
Pre-K & Kindergarten – CHERUBS
Four- and five-year-olds have fun together, learning simple Bible stories, doing crafts, playing games and singing songs.
Grades 1 & 2 – KIDS OF THE KINGDOM
Kids of the Kingdom learn about the Bible through crafts and games based on familiar Bible Stories. The children also participate in the Kids of the Kingdom Choir, which rehearses on Wednesday nights. In the spring, the youth enjoy a cameo appearance in the youth musical.
Grades 3, 4 & 5 – YOUTH CLUB
Our older elementary school youth explore the Bible through video, drama, games and crafts. Youth Clubbers also enjoy special events, such as bowling, reward night, a carnival, and their “Monster Cookie” sale to raise funds for mission. Participants are invited to participate in bell choir and sing in the Youth Club Choir, with rehearsals during Westminster Wednesday. The Youth Club presents their annual youth musical each spring.
Grades 6 & 7 – THE GROUP
Our sixth and seventh graders learn through active participation in a variety of activities: prayer, Bible study, games, devotions, and service to others. The group enjoys outside activities throughout the year, including a mission trip each summer. Group participants are invited to sing in the Group/High School Choir and ring in a handbell choir.
Grade 8 – CONFIRMATION
Our eighth graders explore their faith and learn how God is at work in their lives, in the church, and in the world. The Confirmands are also invited to sing in the Group/High School Choir and ring in a handbell choir.
Grades 9, 10, 11 & 12 – SENIOR HIGHS
The Senior Highs choose a theme each year and explore it through video, Scripture, games, service projects, and more. 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. Our Senior Highs are also invited to sing in the Group/High School Choir and ring in a handbell choir.
ADULT ACTIVITIES
On Wednesday evening, adults may attend a Bible study class, participate in a handbell choir, or join the “Fellowship of the Kitchen” to help with food preparation and clean-up after dinner. Men are invited to the weekly Men’s Group, and women may attend Leah Circle, which meets monthly. Other short-term classes and activities are offered for adults throughout the year. Watch for announcements of these events.
