On your Lips and in your Hearts

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

While Pastor Ruttan is finishing his Christmas holiday, William Min, our new Coordinator of Youth and Outreach will lead the service and share a sermon on keeping Christ, not only in our hearts, but on our lips as we look towards the New Year. Faith in Christ is evidence not only by what we believe in our hearts (our private lives) but also in the words of our lips (our public life). The text will focus on Romans 10 : 5-13. Sunday school resumes and Nursery Care will be available. The service will be both in-person and live-streamed to our YouTube channel (search @westminsterchurchonline). Service begins at 10:01 a.m. We look forward to coming together in worship with you. Fellowship to follow with refreshments and treats.

Sunday Service – January 14, 2024

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

On Sunday we will praise God! It’s what we were made to do. We will sing and pray, learn from scripture, and support one another as the body of Christ. There will be Sunday school, nursery care, and fellowship time. As a part of the service we will hear some faith statements by people who are becoming professing members of the congregation. Pastor Ruttan will also give some teaching about ‘spiritual gifts 101.’ Every Christian has at least one “spiritual gift” that God has given them to use for his purposes in the world. What are they and how do you know? Come Holy Spirit! Let’s honour the Lord together. The service is at 10:01am.

Sunday Service – Mar.10, 2024

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

On Sunday, March 10th we will hear the final installment of our series on the book of Esther. Pastor Ruttan will take us through chapters 9-10, share some thoughts about armed conflict and how this does (or doesn’t) relate to stories like Esther, and encourage us to identify the big picture providence of God working in the lives of his people. We will be blessed by song, we will pray together, there will be Sunday School and nursery care, and we will share fellowship and, of course, some snacks. Let’s continue to journey through Lent together at worship.

Sunday Service – Mar.17, 2024

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

On Sunday, March 17th, Pastor Ruttan is away on vacation and our Coordinator of Youth and Outreach, William Min, will be leading the service. William will be looking at the story of how Jesus resurrects Lazarus from the dead and how it is one of 4 Messianic miracles. He will focus on how we will soon be wrapping up Lent as we look towards Easter in a couple of weeks… and the resurrection hope we have in Jesus, which leads us to repentance, because He IS the resurrection, the truth, and the life. We will be blessed by song, we will pray together, there will be Sunday School and nursery care, and we will share fellowship and, of course, some snacks. Let’s continue to journey through Lent together at worship.

Sunday Service – March 24, 2024

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

On Sunday, March 24th, Pastor Ruttan is away on vacation and our Coordinator of Youth and Outreach, William Min, will be leading the service. This is Palm Sunday. You will receive a Palm as you enter for the service. We will look at the story of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, some of the cultural context around its timing, and how Jesus seldom works according to our expectations and desires, but counterintuitively does God’s incredibly work through His faithfulness. We will be blessed by song, through our music ministry, led by our Music Director, Nena LaMarre, and we will pray together. There will also be Sunday School and nursery care, led by caring and dedicated members of our congregation. There will be a free Soup and Bun lunch following the service in our fellowship hall. We encourage everyone to join in. We are blessed with kitchen volunteers who regularly give their hearts to the mission of organizing, shopping, cooking, baking and preparing treats, refreshments and meals for our congregation to share in. Let’s worship together on this Palm Sunday, as we prepare our hearts for our coming Easter Services.

Sunday Service – April 14, 2024

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

Christ is risen! On Sunday we continue to celebrate the power, love and truth of God together as his people. Pastor Ruttan will offer Part 2 in our mini series about the resurrection. Last week we explored 5 of the most common conspiracy theories which try to undermine our confidence in the resurrection. Last week was defense, this week is offense. We explore additional reasons to be confident in our foundational belief. We will worship with praise songs and hymns, and William Min will teach us a new song he has been singing with the youth group: “O Glorious Day.” It’s a perfect song for the Easter season. Sunday School teachers are preparing for classes, and our nursery helpers will provide support and love for the youngest in our midst. We will enjoy fellowship and be uplifted. Let’s honour God together.
