See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Isaiah 43:19

Thank you! Because of your generosity, we have reached 70% of our goal, with 339 pledges committed. We are so grateful that 70% of the pledges received reflect an increase in giving over last year. As you prayerfully consider a pledge for this year, a 5% increase in support would allow Westminster to continue to serve this church, the community and the world, living out the Word, shining God’s light, and sharing God’s love.

We need every gift, of every size to sustain the ministries at Westminster. Will you join in this journey, as we perceive what “new things” God is about to do and await the wondrous ways He will work through Westminster in the next year?

With gratitude and hope,

Your Generosity Committee

Covenant Class • Fellowship Hall

Westminster Welcomes Anjlo Ajmals to Teach Covenant Class:

We welcome Anjlo Ajmals, a ThM student at Vanderbilt Divinity School, to teach the Covenant Class in Fellowship Hall this morning. Anjlo is under the care of First Presbyterian Church, Santa Monica, CA, has already completed his Master of Divinity at Claremont School of Theology, and is in the process of moving toward ordination in the PC(U.S.A.). A refugee from Pakistan, Anjlo fled to Paris in 2010 after suffering persecution in his home country and founded the Punjabi Church in Paris while working with the American Church in Paris. He ministered for almost six years to Christians from India and Pakistan living in Paris suburbs. The work ignited his passion for theological training and he sees his call to minister to those from the persecuted church in Pakistan, persons with disabilities (as an embodiment of post-polio syndromes), refugees and immigrants. He is married to Lubna and they have an eight-year-old daughter, Mojza (whose name means “miracle”). While they are at VDS First Presbyterian Nashville provides housing for the Ajmals on their campus.

Back to Basics: Bible •

Goodpasture Hall

NEW LOCATION

Westminster is launching a new series of Sunday School classes to help us get back to the basics! This fall, we’ll start with an introduction to the Bible. We’ll explore what exactly the Bible is including its structure and history as well as spend time learning about and interpreting various texts together. Attendees will become familiar with the Bible and its contents and develop the skills and understanding so they can comfortably read and interpret Scripture.
