Sunday Service – May 24th

Live Stream Only Westminster YouTube Channel

Sunday May 24th we will gather online to worship and praise our wonderful God. Pastor Ruttan's message will be based on Psalm 91.  He will confront the idea that if we are faithful to God then he will protect us from all harm, including physical harm (which Psalm 91) seems to suggest. "no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent." There are certainly many benefits -- both temporal and eternal -- that God gives us, but we are not inoculated from hardship. Pastor Ruttan will focus on what it means to live "in the shadow of the Almighty", he who is "my refuge and my fortress." We will also learn about the newest Family Devotional, hear more of the Praise Challenge entries, enjoy some special music and worship God as a community! Don't forget to send in your pictures for our communion table. Hope you can join us!

Sunday Service – May 31st

Live Stream Only Westminster YouTube Channel

Currently, our services are live-stream only.  You can find it here. Pastor Ruttan is off on Study Leave this week, so our own Cathy Clark will lead the service! It's Pentecost Sunday, and Cathy is basing her message on Joshua 3:14-17 and Acts 2:1-4, with a reference also to Joshua 1:9.  It is about the crossing over the River Jordan by the Israelites after their 40 years of wandering in the desert. When we are called to cross the river at the end of the pandemic, the Ark of the Covenant will not not go before us. Instead, the Holy Spirit of God, poured out to us on the day of Pentecost will lead us forward. Find a sermon resource for Cathy's message here. We will hear a new Praise Challenge submission, enjoy some special music and praise our awesome God! Hope you can join us on the live-stream!

Services are being held on live-stream only.  You can find it right here. On Sunday Westminster will celebrate it's 58th Anniversary! -- digitally, of course. It's a challenging time in our world. There is a lot of sickness and a lot of hurt. On Anniversary Sunday our theme will be love. As we are reminded in 1 John 4:19: "We love because he first loved us." We are also told that "perfect love drives out fear" (1 John 4:18). We will celebrate Communion. (Have your bread and grape juice or wine ready.)  And "collect" for our Deacon's Fund.  More details on this outreach ministry can be found here. We will pray boldly, sing loudly, enjoy special music, another Praise Challenge Entry, and also watch a video review of some highlights from the past year. Let's honour our almighty and loving God together! Like our first virtual Communion service held on Maundy Thursday & when we celebrate on Sunday mornings, "anyone who trusts Jesus as their Lord is welcome to participate, they along with their children." If adults wish to participate with their children, it is important that, as usual, they have explained the meaning ahead of time. Click here for a 1-page helper in this regard. Hope you can join us.

Sunday is the first day of the week -- and we mark it together with worship! At 10:01am on our live-stream (You can access our live-stream here.)  we will praise God Almighty with lots of singing, prayer, and learning from God's word. We'll highlight another Praise Challenge Submission, enjoy some special music, and a few other unique elements. Pastor Ruttan will highlight the need for humility in our thoughts and actions. "Don't be judgmental!" is something you hear a lot these days. But what does that really mean (and what doesn't it mean)? We'll explore Jesus' words in Matthew 7:1-5 and what they teach us about a humility that is both sincere and confident in a polarized and polarizing world.  Go here for Sermon Notes that accompany this week's message.
