Sunday Service – January 3rd

Live Stream Only Westminster YouTube Channel

Start the New Year off right by worshipping our incredible God! Join us at 10:01 am this Sunday for our first live-stream service of 2021. One of our favourite friends, Rev. Patrick Voo, will be leading our service along with Jenn Harris to kick off the new year. We have a special guest and also will enjoy a new & special Praise Challenge. Rev. Patrick will be tackling the famous question of "How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time" -- the bottom line being that we can reach the amazing destiny that God has called each of us to if we just do the little things that matter which is within our grasp! We hope you can join us!  You will find it here.

Coldest Night of the Year

For the past 5 years the youth groups at Westminster have encouraged the congregation to support, learn more and share about the Coldest Night of the Year Walk for Youth Haven. Youth Haven is the Shelter and Services that provide a safe living space, safe schooling and transitional support to youths ages 16 - 24 across Simcoe Muskoka. This year the walk is being held virtually so families can walk together on a night of their choosing though we recommend Saturday February 20th.  Although this is a virtual walk Julie Cunha would love to host a ZOOM kick off on Saturday February 20th at 4:00 p.m. for all who are planning to walk! If you are interested in joining the team please follow the link below and email Julie (julie@westminsterpc.ca) to be added to the ZOOM Kick Off! If you would like to join or donate to the WestminsterWalkers please follow this link, and don't forget to share photos of your family in their toques and on your walk!

FabFeb

In February 2021 we join Fight4Freedom and their FabFeb campaign, raising awareness and funds in the battle against human trafficking (modern slavery). Everyone is created in God's image. Our team is called ‘Westminster Church.’ You are invited to become a team member, or learn more, or donate (our goal is $500), or wear red boldly. Join the Westminster Church team here. We can participate by wearing red ribbons, bold lipstick or bowties and posting a bold-fabulous-you on social media to raise funds and awareness. Being bold gives us an opportunity to share about the very real problem of human trafficking and invite others to join us in advocating with Fight4Freedom to end trafficking together.

Sunday is the Lord's Day! It's also Valentine's Day. So let's praise the God of love with music, prayer, and by feasting on his Word. Previously, Pastor Ruttan had mentioned that we would have our first "Kahoot" during the service and also officially acknowledge Julie Cunha's expanded role during the service. However, he has put his back out and can barely get out of bed! So we will delay that until Feb. 21. Leading the service will be Julie Cunha along with Jenn Harris! We will enjoy a new favourite hymn submission, a "Can I Get A Withness?", and learn a new faith-at-home prayer activity. The message will be focused on the story of the Good Samaritan. Our services are online only at the moment, you can find that here.

We'll continue with those, enjoy a new faith-at-home focus, and recognize Julie Cunha's new expanded role. Plus, we'll have our first Kahoot! (Just download the app).
