On Saturday, May 7th at 1:30pm there will be a memorial service for Isabel Fleming at Westminster Presbyterian Church (170 Steel Street, Barrie, ON). Isabel was an active, joyful and faithful member of the congregation for over 20 years. She was a meaningful and committed member of many groups and outreaches, and graced our weekly worship services as a part of the choir. We miss her greatly, but rejoice that she is now with God and is free from all pain and illness. She rejoices in the powerful and peaceful presence of God! Isabel passed away on June 1, 2021. However, since that was during a lockdown period as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, a decision was made to hold a memorial service at a later date. The service will be both in-person and live-streamed. For those watching online, they can go to Westminster's YouTube channel here when the service starts to follow along. For those attending in-person, there is no need to pre-register. All attendance limits have been lifted, but we continue to ask that guests wear masks as an added safety precaution. The service will include some of Isabel's favourite hymns, prayers, and words of gratitude from the family and from Rev. Ruttan. There will be no formal reception after the service. However, there will be a receiving line to greet the family. You may read Isabel's full obituary here.
On Sunday, May 8th we worship our incredible God at 10:01am (in person and online). Pastor Ruttan returns to the pulpit and leads us through John 5:1-18 and what it means to get in on the work God is already doing in our world. There will be Sunday School, music and praise, prayers, a new faith at home focus, and carnations for all the ladies. Why? Because it's Mother's Day and we want to acknowledge the special place that mothers (both present and past) have played in our lives. Join us live online here on YouTube at 10:01 a.m.
Why does it feel so right to worship God? Because we were made for it! We gather at 10:01am (in person or online), to praise God, sing and pray together, benefit from Sunday School teaching, learn a new faith-at-home focus, and continue through John's Gospel. Pastor Ruttan will begin by explaining why we can have confidence that what the Bible says Jesus said he actually said, and the move on to a teaching which frees us from feeling like we need to meet the standards of other people. The text is John 5:19-29. In-person worship (masks required) and live online. Join us Sundays at 10:01 a.m. live on YouTube
