Transportation

Westminster provides weekly van transportation to and from Sunday worship services upon request for persons living at Goodwin House Alexandria, Goodwin House Baileys Crossroads, The Washington House, The Hermitage, and Westminster at Lake Ridge (one Sunday per month).

Selected church events are targeted by the Deacons' Transportation Subcommittee to receive church-wide transportation availability.  To request a ride or become trained as a van driver or assistant, contact Eileen Jinks at ejinks@wpc-alex.org

Transportation for persons with disabilities can be arranged at reduced rates through service programs such as DOT Taxi, Alexandria or Metro Access.

Westminster Travelers

Senior adults have the opportunity to take day trips or attend special events within the church several times a month.  Extended trips are also taken annually by chartered bus.  Please see the Travelers' page for more info.

Hospitalization and Illness

Westminster maintains a Care Line (703-684-2934) and a weekly bulletin update called the "Joys & Concerns" to notify the church family of hospitalizations, illnesses, births, and deaths.  The Prayer Chain ministry offers another venue of support.

The church family can help make post-hospital recuperation more comfortable and long-term illnesses more bearable through gifts of prayer, correspondence, and when appropriate, food and visits.
