Westminster Presbyterian Church, Alexandria Va

"I’m here because of the youth. The high school youth of this church have inspired me in ways these days when joy is hard to find. A few of our youth told me they wanted to hear from me. I didn’t want to speak. But then I thought about the people I’ve grown to love during the sleepless nights on church floors, both upstairs and abroad. So here I am, and here we are." The Rev. Whitney Fauntleroy preaches on the fourtheenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Sunday of Independence Day weekend. She is joined by Westminster youth Anna Harrington (Scripture), Michaela McCormack (Children's Sermon), Conrad McIntosh (Reflection and Solo), and Michael Luhman (Prayers). The Scripture lesson is Romans 7:15-25.
