Fellowship & Education
Young Adult Group
We have a growing group of Young Professionals who are a part of the fellowship
at Washington Plaza.
This under 40 group meets together each month for some type of social, service or spiritual activity.
Events in the past have included bowling, a movie night at a member's home, and a fabulous Christmas party.
If you are interested in getting together with us, we love to meet new friends!
Please contact LaTia Wilson, Young Adult activity coordinator at latia.wilson@gmail.com for more information about the next gathering!
"Speaking of Sin" Book Study - Weds evenings
Has the
Lenten sermon series peeked your interest? Interested in growing in your
understanding about how "sin" might be present in our lives? Do
you desire to grow in community with those in whom you sit in the pews each
Sunday?
Then, the Wednesday night in Lent class is for you!
Join the Pastor on the 3rd floor (in the balcony) beginning this coming
Wednesday (March 10th) at 7 pm for three weeks of discussion using Barbara
Brown Taylor's book, Speaking of Sin: the Lost Language of Salvation as
our guide. There will be also opportunities to talk through the sermons
as the group wants.
If you want a book, please let the
Pastor know and they will be available for $10 on Sunday.
Children's Sunday School
We
welcome children at Washington Plaza Baptist Church. Through a rotation
system of loving volunteers, we currently offer children's Sunday School
during the time of worship for adults. All volunteers are screened and trained
in child education and safety. The curriculum we are using is called One
Room Sunday School. From Cokesbury Publishing, One Room Sunday School is
specifically designed for a children's Christian education program where
four or more age groups are taught in one classroom. Students will grow
together through comprehensive Bible study, application of Bible lessons
to everyday discipleship, and a variety of age-appropriate activities. It
is a great opportunity for children to work together with a group of all
ages and for older children to begin to learn more about mentoring those
who are younger than them.
Kerygma Bible Study
Over
centuries the church has developed theological ideas in the form of doctrines,
which have been embraced by all Christendom with little variation. Kerygma:
The Bible and Theology explores eight major Christian doctrines, examining
the Old and New Testament texts that inform belief and exploring how the
church has formulated that belief as doctrine. Published in four books.
We will be studying this series each Wednesday night at WPBC at 6:30 with
breaks for Advent and Lent. We will conclude the end of May. For more information,
see Richard Williams or email him at tyro524@aol.com.
Book One - 7 Parts. The Trinity: Who is God? Christology: Who is Jesus
Christ?
Book Two - 6 Parts. Ecclesiology: What is the Church? Anthropology: Who
is Humanity?
Book Three - 6 Parts. Soteriology: How are We Saved? Authority: Where is
Authority?

Adult Sunday Morning Bible Study
| Come one, come all to Adult Bible Study
on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am in the Plaza Room! The group studies
a variety of topics about the Christian faith through the year. |
In
January, the class will begin a study of Galatians. The class will
be using the text: Letters to the Galatians and the Ephesians from
the New Daily Bible Study series by Williams Barclay. Books are $12.50.
If you would like to purchase one, please see Ernie or David.
Noon Bible Study for Ladies
This group is made up of 6 to 12 women and has been in existence about 35 years. It is open to all women in and out of WPBC.
The group uses a study book in seeking the meaning of God's word. Our goal is to get the 'essence' of the Bible through reading, discussion and understanding while applying our insights to daily living.
Meeting once a month at different homes for study has led to forming a close bond of fellowship and Christian love.

Evening Woman's Group
This group provides a community of support in which women can freely discuss
problems and losses and also have fun.
Currently, we are getting to know each other at a deeper level by listening
to two members at each meeting tell "their life story so far."
Laughter, tears and self knowledge abound.
Meetings are at 6PM on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month in the
Plaza Room. Contact Janet Rickert at 703-787-9529 or darickert@hotmail.com
or Leomia Brunson at 703-437-8443.
