Women at the Well
Morning Weekly Group and Evening Monthly Group
​
Women at the Well welcomes women of all ages and stages to join us! The two groups have a different format, time, and content. The weekly group meets Wednesday mornings from 9:15-10:30am and uses a particular book chosen each semester as a guide for shared conversation, reflections, and prayer. The monthly group meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 6:00pm (sometimes the third Thursday to avoid holidays) and uses a podcast as the basis for discussion on various topics. Both groups are wonderful opportunities for women to get to know each other as we discuss the intersection of culture and faith and our own spiritual journeys. ​
Men’s Weekday Opportunities
Waking Up with the Word
Waking Up with the Word is a long running bible study for men. Two Tuesdays a month it meets by Zoom and two Tuesdays it meets in-person on the Westminster Hall Patio. The group uses an ancient bible study process called Lectio Divina. We look at the passage that will be preached on the upcoming Sunday. The study revolves around three questions:
What is a word or phrase that stands out to you?
Allow that word or phrase to develop into a memory from your life, a though on the passage or metaphor
What is Christ calling you to through the passage?
No previous bible study experience is needed. It is a great group of guys who are welcoming and wise in their comments. For our in-person meetings coffee and bibles are provided. If you have questions or would like to be added to the email distribution list, please contact the church office.
​
Presbyterian Pint
Men of the church are welcome to join us for fellowship and faith in a friendly environment! We typically meet the third Thursday of every month at 7:00pm at various locations. We discuss relevant questions of theology and culture. All men of any age and stage of life are welcome!

THE GATHERING
​
Sunday Morning Adult Education
9:30am Sundays: September 14 through end of May
​Presbyterian Ponderings
9:30-10:20am | Westminster North
Facilitated by Fred Woodward, John Oldenburg, John James, Gil Graybill
"Jesus Is Gone! Now What Do We Do?"
Begins September 14
After Jesus’ amazing ministry, the disciples were unprepared for what came next. Did he leave them any instructions? How did they choose their new leaders? Who would be in charge of performing miracles? Anybody up for a road trip?
​
This fall, the Presbyterian Ponderings class will study the Acts of the Apostles, guided by Life Lessons from Acts written by Max Lucado. We will look at the struggles and successes of the early church and examine how the foundations of our faith, established by Christ, were shared. The Presbyterian Ponderings class is discussion-based, team-led, with no advance reading or other prerequisites. Drop in and ponder with us!

The Seekers
9:30-10:20am | Westminster South​
"Women in Religion" Facilitated by Ron Ash
3 Part Series - Begins September 14
​
Women have, for centuries, been relegated to second place in many societies and religions. This treatment of women has been due, in large part, to patriarchal interpretations of sacred texts, e.g. the Bible, the Quran, etc. This series will delve into the role of women in Christianity and other mainstream religions. Women who were revered in the founding of certain religious traditions will be discussed.
This class is a presentation/discussion based class covering a wide range of theological, social, historical, and contemporary topics.
