Welcome to
W.S.P. Website
Westminster-St. Paul’s welcomes you to worship,
Sunday mornings at 10.30am.
As a congregation of the Presbyterian
Church in Canada, Westminster-St. Paul’s (WSP) is a church in the Reformed Tradition,
which seeks to nurture people toward the development of a life-transforming
relationship with Jesus Christ.
The minister, the Rev. Karla Wübbenhorst, is the one
regularly involved in the preaching and sacramental ministry at Westminster-St.
Paul’s.
Worship includes songs of praise, in styles both ancient and modern, and a
focusing on needs in our community and in the wider world, which
needs are taken into the prayers of the People and into the Church’s programs of
outreach.
Information is available
regarding congregational pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Planned for February
2012, this will be an exciting part of our congregational calendar for the year
ahead.
We are also happy to announce that our 2003 build (which we are still calling
“the new addition”) is now completely paid off.
The regular midweek programs at the
church include the Toddler,
Baby and Me group which meets from 9
till 11 Mondays and Thursdays in the
church basement. Toddler, Baby and Me is
open to parents and their pre-schoolers
from our neighbourhood as well as the
children of the congregation.
Look for the Searching Questions
bible study to recommence early in
September.

This is a new group at Westminster-St.
Paul’s, meeting alternate Tuesdays at
1pm, to which participants are invited
to bring their questions.
Discussions so far have been lively and
challenging.
The “Searching Questions”
study group meets on the 1st
and 3rd Tuesdays of the month
at 1pm (complementing our regular men’s
and women’s bible studies which meet at
7.30am (men’s) and 9am (women’s) on the
2nd and 4th
Wednesdays (men’s) and Thursdays
(women’s) of the month). The Searching
Questions group has explored a wide
range of topics from predestination to
suicide to miracle healing, to whether
we should laugh in church (Some of its
studies are available online – click
here). The well-established Special
Days ministry, which features a dinner
and a devotional time, mostly aimed at
seniors in our neighbourhood, takes
place on the third Wednesday of the
month (12 noon). Many community groups
including Brownies, Al-Anon, AA, TOPS,
and the Guelph Male Choir make use of
our facility on a nightly basis.
If you are in Guelph we warmly invite
you to worship with us at
Westminster-St. Paul’s. You will find
rich, Christ-centered worship, and a
friendly congregation, ready to chat
with you at our after-worship coffee
hour or monthly sandwich luncheon.
Needs of
the elderly, among others, are met by
our fully accessible building and by the
hearing assist system in the sanctuary.
There is also ample parking in our paved
lot, adjacent to the building. A
children’s programme and nursery are
provided each week for your young ones.
We are a Christian community
desiring to be a beautiful thing for God
and a meaningful presence to those who
live in our neighbourhood. Come, let us
meet you!" |
