Westminster Loving God & Neighbour

Jesus said that we cannot enter God's kingdom without being "born again." What did he mean, and how might our new status in Christ impact our attitudes toward government, the pandemic and ourselves? That's what Pastor Ruttan will explore in worship on Sunday as he leads in worship along with Jenn Harris. Henna Kim will lead us in prayer, and Laura Ruttan will introduce another faith-at-home service activity. Join us live on YouTube at 10:01 a.m. 

John 3:16. It's the most famous Bible verse in the world. Some call it a summary of the entire biblical message. But why? And how do these words have power against the darkness of the world? That's what we'll explore on Sunday. We will also celebrate the Sacrament of Communion. We will sing hymns and praise songs, we will pray, we will learn a new faith-at-home focus, and Pastor Ruttan will announce the next steps of Westminster's re-opening. We will also have our Annual General Meeting via zoom after the service for those who would like to participate (see separate announcement). Because of all the other things happening, the "Q & A Forum" will be delayed until March 13th. "For God so loved the world..."  

It's been exactly two years since we've been able to come to in-person worship and Sunday School without pre-registration... But it's here on March 13th! Click here for Pastor Ruttan's full video explanation about what to expect. In short, attendance limits have been lifted, masking is still required, and only come if you are feeling well. We recognize that people are at different levels of comfort in terms of being near others. We respect this. Only come if you are comfortable; the live-stream will continue to be an option. And remember that clocks spring ahead! It will be the 2nd Sunday in Lent. We will sing, pray, resume in-person Sunday School, induct three of our elders, and continue with our series on John and the necessity of humility -- the endangered virtue which is necessary if we are to be like Jesus. Let's honour the Lord no matter what! Join us LIVE on YouTube at 10:01 a.m.

On Sunday, March 20th we worship in-person (without having to pre-register) and will also have in-person Sunday School at 10:01am! Our live-stream will continue for those at home. If you missed the announcement about lessened restrictions (but with masks still required) you can click here. We will sing songs to God, pray together, and re-centre ourselves on Almighty God, the one whose "kingdom rules over all" (Psalm 103:19) in the midst of troubling times. Pastor Ruttan will continue our series on John's Gospel and we will dive into what Jesus meant when he said that God actually seeks people to worship him "in the Spirit and in truth." Join us LIVE on YouTube at 10:01 a.m.

Saved from what? Jesus is called the "Saviour of the world" in John 4:42. But what does he save us from? The answer is very good news, and is probably a bit broader than we might normally think. With this as our biblical focus we will praise God in spirit and truth with songs, prayers, and with our Sunday School ministry. As previously announced, worship is now open to all with no pre-registration required (but still masks). There is also in-person Sunday School. The service is at 10:01am in person and also online via YouTube. Let's honour the Saviour of the world! Join us LIVE on YouTube at 10:01 a.m.
