Activity Groups

Session

The Session is the governing body of our local church.  It's members serve on separate committees to deal with different areas of our church life and report back to the Session for action.  These are dedicated people, elected by the congregation to do God's work through our church.  There stated meeting time is 7:30 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of each month.  They welcome guests.

Board of Deacons

The Board of Deacons is a group of people, elected by the congregation to serve the people of our church.  They do funeral receptions, wedding receptions, prepare and serve communion, manage the weekly ushers, visit the sick and shut-ins, deliver flowers to those who can't come to church, send cards to the sick and bereaved as well as cards to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, etc.  Their dedication to their job is remarkable as they do God's work.

Chancel Choir

The Chancel Choir participates in the worship services from September through May each year.  They sing modern religious anthems as well as classical religious anthems and cantatas.  Their regular rehearsal time is 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday evenings.  It is a fun group that takes it's worship through music seriously.  The choir is directed by Austen Wilson.  He makes it fun while being serious about the quality of music on Sunday morning.  He is always looking for more voices--come join the choir.

Jubilation Hand Bell Choir

The gals in this bell choir have entirely too much fun, but it seems that is alright because they produce beautifully rung music as they praise God in their own way.  The church is fortunate to have a large set of bells and chimes, but it is even more fortunate to have the ringers that use them to create beautiful music.  This choir normally plays from September to June and they practice on Tuesday evenings.  This might be something you would like to do, if so, you would be welcome to "chime in."  Lisa Jones directs this choir

Presbyterian Men

If you are a man, you are welcome to join the Presbyterian Men as they meet for breakfast on some Saturday mornings.  They meet, enjoy the fellowship, have a short devotional presentation and discuss items of current interest.  It is a good thing to do on a Saturday morning.  You are welcome to join them.

Presbyterian Women

Presbyterian Women serve an important function in the church by providing an opportunity for growth in their faith, fellowship, support and outreach for mission.  They invite all women of the church to attend one of the Circle meetings that are held from September through May.  There are four active Circles, including three study circles.  They are committed to nurture their faith through prayer and Bible study, to support the mission of the church worldwide and to work for justice and peace, and to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and witnesses to the promise of God's kingdom.

Mariners

The Mariners is a Presbyterian adult organization which meets on Saturday evenings, about every other month, for fellowship and worship using a nautical theme.  The officer are named after the naval officer names, as Captain, Purser, First Mate, etc.  It is a good way to have fellowship with good people as you worship God.  You are welcome to come aboard and join this fellowship.

The Youth Group

The Junior and senior high youth of our congregation are led by Beth Douma.  It is a very active group that have a great fellowship.  These are the future leaders of our church.  They usually meet every Sunday after the worship service in their Youth Room.  During the summer, they meet irregularly for special events.  They do service projects that benefit the Have A Heart project, the Westminster FISH food pantry and the Growing Home project.  Youth in grades 6-12 are welcome to join in the fun--and they do have fun.  If you wish to join the Youth Group, call Beth Douma at (303) 753-6887.

Dorcas Club

The Dorcas Club is designed for single women and has members from several denominations in the community to share programs and life experiences.  They meet on the third Saturday of the month, usually at 1:00 p.m. in the Gold Door Room.  Dorcas is open to all interested ladies.

Book Club

At the Book Club gatherings the group picks a book for all to read and then at the next gathering that book is discussed.  Books of all types have been chosen, secular in nature but many thought provoking topics about religion and life experiences.  It is good to hear the interpretations of other readers.  All are welcome to join in with this fun group, and one of the best things is the desert.  It is headed up by Gigi Nielson and Lisa Jones and usually held in their home.  Meetings are not regular, it seems they vary according to the thickness of the current book.
