Westminster Loving God & Neighbour

High-Q is a high school study from 3 to 4pm on Tuesdays at Westminster. The timing coincides with the end of the school day at Eastview Secondary School. (Westminster is a short walk from Eastview — students can travel south down Nelson then east along Steel. It takes a little under 10 minutes to walk.) We’ll meet in the main-level Library, a bright room right at the front door. The time will be led by Pastor Ruttan. The name “High-Q” comes from what it is about. Yes, it’s a bit of a word play on “IQ” because high school students will be respected as thinking adults. More specifically, it’s a HIGH school-aged study which is based on the Questions of students themselves, the Bible, and apologetics (understanding/explaining the faith). Plus, there will be (good) snacks! At each gathering, Pastor Ruttan will explain what it’s about, and students will be invited to submit questions through an anonymous box system. That will determine what we’ll talk about the next week. If you have any questions please speak with Rev. Ruttan.

(Here is our location via Google Maps.) You’re invited to join us on Sunday, January 27 at 10:01 am as we worship our amazing God! We will sing songs to God, pray, learn, and encourage one another through the journey of life. There will be nursery care, and our full Sunday School will be in operation — pre-school to high school. Our pastor is currently teaching through a 4-part Sunday teaching series called “Heaven & Hell – What does the Bible teach about what is true? (Instead of what we want to be true.)” On January 20th we’ll continue this important series. (If you want to see a short YouTube video introduction to the series, or catch up on Parts 1 and 2, click here.) The topic on January 27th will bring the whole series together, and will be about what makes a person right (or wrong) with God. It's an incredibly important message to hear. Let’s worship and be a part of something bigger together.

(Here is our location via Google Maps.) You’re invited to join us on Sunday, February 3 at 10:01 am as we worship the true and living God! We will sing songs and hymns to God, pray, learn, and encourage one another. There will be nursery care, and our full Sunday School will be in operation: pre-school to high school. Our pastor will share a message called "The Force Awakens." We know, kind of strange title, isn't it? But it's about waking up and being the church in the very real context of spiritual warfare. On this Sunday we will also have a coffee and sugar drive for the clients of the David Busby Street Centre. It's a very real and tangible way we can offer some help. Let’s worship and be a part of something bigger together.

(Here is our location via Google Maps.) You’re invited to join us on Sunday, February 10 at 10:01 am as we worship the true and living God! We will sing songs and hymns to God, pray, learn biblical and eternal truths, and encourage one another. There will be nursery care, and our full Sunday School will be in operation: pre-school to high school. After the service we will also have our annual general meeting. This is optional for anyone who wants to attend, but is a chance to review reports from various ministries/programs from the past year and consider the 2019 budget. Let’s worship and be a part of something bigger together.
