Music Ministry




We have a growing choir and an ambitious music program.

The choir meets every Monday at 7:00 to 8:30 PM in the church sanctuary to rehearse for Sunday services and upcoming special events. The choir takes a sabitical during the summer.

We pride ourselves on the diversity of our music program, which includes Classical, Traditional, Contemporary, and Gospel music.

New choir members are always welcome. We especially need basses.

We are always looking for quality musicians to perform in our concerts. If you would like to participate, contact us to set up an audition.

Reston Interfaith



WPBC was one of the founding members of Reston Interfaith. Currently, WPBC trustee Anne Strange, serves on the Reston Interfaith Board of Directors. WPBC actively participates in many programs including homeless advocacy and the Hypothermia Project.

WPBC joined the Laurel Learning Center in a Mini-Walk for the Homeless on October 19th. Twenty children were sponsored!

Thanks to all the walkers that participated.

 

 

The Closet




WPBC members Eulene Bevans and Thelma Calbert will be serving on The Closet's board of directors for 2010. WPBC has been serving on the board and supplying volunteers for 35 years. This community thrift shop has been an important source of clothing and home furnishings for people of little means. Its tremendous volume generates thousands of dollars annually which are dispersed to many local charitable organizations. Leomia Brunson, a WPBC member since 1975, was the assistant manager at The Closet from 1980 to 1987 and then manager until her retirement in 2004. Please contact either Eulene or Thelma to volunteer to help out The Closet.

The Hypothermia Project



WPBC is repeating the service we did last year in providing an evening meal and bagged lunches one Sunday a month during January, February and March 2010. In January, we had church members make 40 bag lunches to deliver to the shelter the following day.

For February 20th, our assignment is to make lunches at 4PM and then take the food and supplies over at 5:30PM.

We still need another casserole, soup or salad so let us know if you can help.

Let's all do our part to make Hypothermia Project year 2010 an even more successful year!

Habitat for Humanity



In the spring of 2006, a delegation of WPBC church members traveled to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, to help repair homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina. In 2007, a second group from WPBC joined Habitat for Humanity in Baton Rouge, building houses.
