Good Friday Service – 10:00 a.m.

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

MARCH 29 at 10am: Good Friday We gather at the foot of the cross to remember the sacrifice and crucifixion of Christ. This is a reflective service of gratitude. “But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). At the end of the service, after the special Kid’s Program (see below), we file out in silence. The Good Friday Youth Program will be for children aged 4 to 12+ years at the same time as the service. This is an experiential hour for the children and includes the story of Jesus from Maundy Thursday to Easter morning. We will meet in the church hall at 10 am (promptly). At the end of the hour the youth will walk up the back aisle in the sanctuary carrying the cross and tomb to the front; then we will file out in silence. (Questions about this youth program can be directed to Mandy Hillyard at 705-539-1203 or at barriegirl57@gmail.com)

Sunday Service – April 28, 2024

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

On Sunday, April 28th we gather to honour the Lord on the first day of the week, as Christ’s people have done for thousands of years. It’s Soup and a Bun Sunday! Join us after the service for a delicious Soup and Bun lunch. Donations accepted. Pastor Ruttan will continue our teachings series on Colossians. Do you ever feel insecure in your faith? As if something is missing? These questions can happen to mature Christians as well as new Christians. That’s what we’ll explore as we look at Colossians 1:15-23. Isn’t it wonderful that there are Sunday School teachers preparing to help and guide our children? And that there are people in the nursery to provide care? And that there are singers, musicians, ushers, tech assistants, kitchen volunteers, set-up and take-downers, greeters, and behind-the-scenes pray-ers and servants who serve our God through this church? Yes, yes it is. See you Sunday. “Set your minds on things that are above… For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:2-3)

Sunday Service – May 5, 2024

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

“How Great Thou Art!” It’s a powerful and inspiring hymn for the ages. It speaks a great truth and God and is also a great way to start a worship service – and so we will this Sunday. There will be helpful Sunday School classes, loving nursery care, as well as fellowship and encouragement. We will sing, pray, serve and be lifted up. Pastor Ruttan will focus on one of the most uplifting (and still mysterious) verses in Colossians: that “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” The wider text will be Colossians 1:24 - 2:5.

Sunday Service – May 12, 2024

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

The word “worship” was sometimes used to include the idea of prostrating oneself on the ground in an act of homage. Although we don’t lie on the ground when we worship as a community, that idea still says something about our inner posture: we come faithfully, reverently and overflowing with gratitude to the God who creates, saves and guides us. It is Mother’s Day—and so all women will receive a carnation when they enter; we will give thanks to mothers. Pastor Ruttan will teach through Colossians 2:6-23. These are full verses which give us an indication about how the Colossians were going off track. But Paul stresses being “alive in Christ” as opposed to self-made religion. What is that, why is it stifling, and what does it teach us about true spiritual health? There will be helpful Sunday School classes, loving nursery care, as well as fellowship and encouragement. We will sing, pray, serve and be lifted up.
