Sunday Service – Feb. 5, 2023

Joy. How do we find it when we don’t feel it? In the midst of their own sadness because of his imminent departure, Jesus told his disciples that their “hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.” Likewise, we wonder how we can be joyful when we are surrounded by so much hardship and pain. This is our theme on Sunday as we explore John 16:4-24. How can we find joy when we don’t feel it? We will also learn a new memory verse (1 John 4:4). There will be Sunday School ministry (now divided into three age groups) and nursery care. We will sing and pray together, have fellowship, and be fix our eyes on the only One who is able to sustain and guide us! The service is at 10:01 am in-person and online via YouTube.

The Two Pathways – that’s how the book of Psalms begins, and that’s how Pastor Ruttan will begin a new series on the most famous Psalms. We begin with Psalm 1, often called the “gateway to the psalms.” It will be a journey that includes Psalm 19, 23, 91 and more. Click here for a short video introduction to the series. We will honour God through biblical teaching, prayer, music, Sunday School, nursery care, and fellowship with one another. The service begins at 10:01am both in person and online via YouTube.

Sunday Service – May 7, 2023

It’s the most famous of the most famous psalms. People request it at funerals and underline it in their Bibles. They memorize it and plaque it for their walls. Many non-Christians can even recite the first few lines. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” On Sunday Pastor Ruttan will take us into this eternally comforting passage and explore what it might say to us today. If you missed it last week, click here for a short video introduction to this series on the Psalms. During the service we will honour God through biblical teaching, prayer, music, Sunday School, nursery care, and fellowship with one another. The service begins at 10:01am both in person and online via YouTube.

Sunday Service – July 30, 2023

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

Summer is glorious! On Sunday, July 30th we gather to praise the Maker of heaven and earth. We will worship and have Sunday School and nursery care. Pastor Ruttan will share the second of two messages on the Most Famous Proverbs. In a world that likes being “to the point” the proverbs are just that: short sayings for living wisely daily. Many could fit on a bumper sticker or in a Twitter post: -“Pride goes before destruction…” -“Iron sharpens iron…” -“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…” -“A joyful heart is good medicine…” -“Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind…” -“Walk with the wise and become wise…” But how do we interpret and apply them? This is what we’ll explore as we seek to live wisely daily. He will also bring examples of helpful ‘Study Bibles’ so you can see what it might like to be have one of these resources in your home. The service begins at 10:01am both in person and online via YouTube.

Sunday Service – Sept.3, 2023

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

On Sunday Pastor Ruttan returns to lead worship after his summer vacation. On September 10th he will begin a new series on 1st and 2nd Thessalonians. But before that begins he will teach on one of the shortest (and most beautiful) Psalms–131. There we are encouraged to calm and quiet our souls. In a world of noise, how do we do it? Even when we’re in a quiet setting, our minds can continue to buzz with activity. Psalm 131 helps us forward as we plan for autumn. There will be Sunday School, nursery care, coffee time and fellowship. The service is at 10:01am and will be in-person and live on YouTube.

Sunday Service – Oct. 8, 2023

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

Sunday, October 8th is Thanksgiving Sunday! The Communion table will have the fruit of the season, and we will gather to sing, pray and learn as Jesus’ people. We will also hold a drive for the Barrie Food Bank. If able, please contribute! Pastor Ruttan will return to the current teaching series, “The beginning is nigh.” The text will be 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12, and the focus will be on what we're for, not just what we're against as Jesus' people.

Sunday Service – Dec.3, 2023

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

Advent begins! This is the four-week period leading up to Christmas. Advent means “coming,” and refers to the coming of Christ—not only at Christmas, but for his return. It is a season of anticipation and preparation. We will light the candle of hope, be blessed by special music, and celebrate the Sacrament of Communion. (See separate announcement for our procedure.) The teaching will be the second last instalment of the ‘Beginning is Nigh’ series. 2nd Thessalonians 2 is a dramatic chapter: Paul discusses ‘the rebellion,’ the ‘man of lawlessness,’ and standing firm as we await Jesus’ return. It is a text which is perfectly on-point for Advent. There will be Sunday School provided by thoughtful, helpful teachers, and loving nursery care. Let’s honour the Lord together. The service begins at 10:01am.
