On July 2 we come together to worship the Lord our keeper. Pastor Ruttan will share the second last message in our teaching series on the most famous psalms. Our text is Psalm 121, a short psalm that is held dear to many people because it speaks so directly about the protection and watchfulness of God over his people collectively and individually. We will be blessed with nursery and Sunday School ministry, and fellowship after the service. The service begins at 10:01am both in person and online via YouTube.

On Sunday, July 9th we will have a 40-minute inter-generational service. We will give thanks for Vacation Bible Camp, show a video review of the week, re-share some fun content from the camp, and do some singing! This is an ‘all together’ service so there will be no Sunday School. (But there will be nursery care.) Let’s celebrate God in an uplifting and joyful way together. This is a great service to invite a friend or family member who is unsure about church. It will be casual and joyful. The service begins at 10:01am both in person and online via YouTube.
On Sunday, July 23rd we gather to praise our wise and holy God. We will worship and have Sunday School and nursery care. Pastor Ruttan will share the first 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 over the next two Sundays as we seek to live wisely daily. The service begins at 10:01am both in person and online via YouTube.

This Sunday, Pastor Ruttan will lead us through service, which will include a special talk from Michelle Boston, our Small Groups Coordinator. At Westminster we call our Small Groups, Vine Groups. Michelle will detail the importance of Bible Study in our lives as Christians, and will share the faithful benefits of being a part of our Vine Groups Program. The theme of today's message is Matthew 7:7, 'Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.' If you'd like to know more about Vine groups, click here. To sign up for September and join one of our weekly Vine Groups (in person or online) you can email Michelle at mishkagirl3@gmail.com.

This Sunday, as Pastor Ruttan begins his first week of vacation, special guest Jeff Walther will lead our service and share a message inspired by Romans 8:35-39. Some ask “What is Love?” Some answer “Love is Love”. God has a much more definitive answer. He has even written a book about it. Jeff, wife Jan and members of their family worship and serve at Westminster. It has been his “retirement calling” that Jeff serves as service leader and speaker to supply pulpit relief at a number of Simcoe County churches. There will be worship, singing, fellowship, Sunday school and nursery care. The service will be livestreamed to our Youtube channel and begins at 10:01 a.m.
This Sunday, as Pastor Ruttan is away on vacation, special guest Claude Cox will lead our service and share a message inspired by Psalm 85:10. “Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.” A bit about Claude…he has been chaplain for many years at Grove Park Home for Senior Citizens and adjunct faculty at McMaster Divinity College—Old Testament and Hebrew, for almost as long. Elaine has been a nurse in the ICU for a bit longer than my many years; our grown children are Michael, Jason and Laura. There will be worship, singing, fellowship, Sunday school and nursery care. The service will be livestreamed to our Youtube channel and begins at 10:01 a.m.
This Sunday, as Pastor Ruttan enjoys his last week of vacation, special guest Cathy Clark will lead our service and share a message inspired by Ecclesiastes 11:1 ‘Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.’ and Luke 6:38, ‘give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” The main take-away of this message will be…’Never let an opportunity to offer a blessing or to be a blessing go by - for blessings are like boomerangs.’ A bit about Cathy…Cathy grew up right here at WPC, attending her first service at the age of two. A few years have passed since then and she has now been an ordained and serving Elder since 2016. Although she is currently Session's representative Elder at the Presbytery of Barrie, for many years she served as the Pastoral Care Coordinator. Since completing her Master of Divinity degree at Tyndale Seminary, Cathy has been blessed to offer her ministry of pulpit supply in several churches across the Presbytery. Recently retired, Cathy is enjoying the chance to travel and get her gardens into shape. Cathy is married to Gord and together they have 4 children and three grandchildren. In her spare time, she and Gord love to travel, she sings in two choirs and plays alto sax in a community concert band. On Sunday, there will be worship, singing, fellowship, Sunday school and nursery care. The service will be livestreamed to our Youtube channel and begins at 10:01 a.m.
