Westminster Loving God & Neighbour

This Sunday, April 18th at 10:01 a.m. (EST) we worship together the Living Lord There are times when the obstacles in our lives feel enormous ... and we don't have the know-how, energy or the willpower to change things for the better. The good news is that God wants you to know that He has a better story ahead for you, and that when you stand side-by-side with Him you are part of an overwhelming majority! Join us Sunday as Pastor Patrick Voo leads our worship, we join in a new favourite hymn and hear about a new special project! Join us at 10:01 a.m. (EST) online only

If Jesus were to ask you directly, "What do you want me to do for you?" how would you respond? Be honest. That's what Pastor Ruttan will explore during worship this Sunday, April 25th. We will go through Luke 18:35-43, sing, worship, pray, learn a fun new faith-at-home focus, enjoy a new favourite hymn, and call on our God of mercy for help in times of need. Technical note: The service will be delivered in a bit of a different format: it will be uploaded at 9:50am to our YouTube channel.   Join us at 10:01 a.m. (EDT) online only

On Sunday, May 2nd we return to our live-stream format at 10:01am on YouTube. We will praise God with song, pray, and by learning from his word. We will also welcome several new members (virtually) who will share faith statements about their believe in Jesus as Messiah! We will have a new Bible memorization verse. Pastor Ruttan's text is Luke 8:1-15, the well-known (and jam-packed) parable of the sower. How do we ensure God's word isn't taken from us by Satan, or that we aren't led astray? How does God's word take root and produce a crop? Join us live on YouTube.

We praise and call on God for his help, hope and persevering power this Sun. May 9th at 10:01am EST on the live-stream. We will give thanks to mothers on Mother's Day, offer prayers and sing to God. Pastor Ruttan will provide some teaching about the church-wide day of fasting and prayer for our hospital, care homes and health care workers for May 13, and will preach on Luke 24:36-49. What does it mean to be a "witness" in a realistic and faithful way, and what guidance does God give us in the process? Join us online only via live - stream YouTube

This Sunday is Ascension Sunday. Huh? We talk about Christmas and Easter, but not the Ascension. On Sunday that changes. We celebrate the risen Jesus assuming his place as Lord and King of the universe at the right hand of our heavenly Father (and talk about what that means and why it matters, especially at a time like this). We will sing in worship, prayer fervently, and learn a new faith-at-home Bible focus. Let God's people worship! Join us via YouTube Live Stream at 10:01 a.m.

May 23 is Pentecost Sunday. Often considered the birthday of the global church, our text is Acts 2 as we learn about and reflect on the Holy Spirit being dramatically poured out on the disciples after Jesus' physical departure. Who is the Spirit in our lives? How do those ancient days connect with these days? We will sing God's praise, pray together, hear a new service-based faith-at-home focus, see what's next with the New City Catechism, and lift high the name of King Jesus! Join us online via YouTube at 10:01 a.m. just click the video with today's date.

God's people praise their God! So that's what we'll do on Sunday, May 30th at 10:01am on YouTube. We'll sing, learn a new faith-at-home focus, sing a new favourite hymn selection, lift concerns to God in prayer, and dive into a short-but-enigmatic passage in Acts 2:42-47 to learn how God sustains his people for the journey, even when we find it hard to sustain ourselves. Join us on YouTube at 10:01 a.m.

June 6 is Anniversary Sunday! We will praise God at 10:01am (on YouTube), celebrate Communion together virtually (have your bread and juice ready), and give thanks for 59 years of ministry (oh, and prepare for some fun trivia). There will be prayers, some special music, and another powerful text from Acts 4 and the early life of the disciples. We will also receive a special financial offering for the Deacon's Fund (a fund which helps people struggling financially either inside or outside the congregation), learn a new memorization verse, and have the Q & A Forum after the service. It will be a meaningful morning to honour the Lord! Join us online (only) right here Sunday morning.

This Sunday, June 13th we praise the Lord (online) at 10:01am! Pastor Ruttan will also provide an updated re-opening plan from our elders in light of the Ontario's government's recently announcements. We will sing praise songs and hymns to God, lift up many prayer concerns, and learn a new faith-at-home focus. Our message will actually be in the form of several video testimonies from participants in our small groups! We will also have our Q and A forum after the service.  As a part of that Pastor Ruttan and elder Cathy Clark will provide an update about the recent General Assembly of The Presbyterian Church in Canada. Join us online only, on YouTube at 10:01 a.m.

On Sunday, June 20th, 2021 we worship the living God! As announced last week, we will worship via our YouTube live stream, AND there will be a limited re-opening. For the full announcement click here. In Stage 1 of the Ontario government's plan, we are able to accommodate 15% of our capacity but ensuring physical distancing measures. The priority group is those without internet and those who live alone. (Pre-registration is required.)

The service itself will include singing, prayer, a thank you to fathers, a new faith-at-home focus, and God's word from Acts 5:17-42. Join us online via YouTube at 10:01 a.m.
