Lectionary Bible Study

We never outgrow the need for Christian fellowship and discipleship.  At Westminster, we offer our Lectionary Bible Study program (September – May) for everyone on the second and fourth Thursday, monthly at 1:30 p.m. in the church Parlor.

During this time of the Novel COVID-19, we are not meeting. Below you can find the scriptures to continue your study on your own or get together and do a study via ZOOM. If you do not have your Bible readily available, each scripture verse is linked to go directly to the Bible reading online.

You may also download a PDF of the complete Daily Readings for Lent HERE.

“I believe in Westminster’s missions of service to others and I like how biblical scholarship is integrated with scripture, providing more insight into understanding what Christ says is important.  These have only helped me to strengthen my faith.”
