Message from Rev. Irene Ty:
10am Friday April 10th: Anniversary and Receiving of New Members
What a celebratory Sunday we will have - 40th Church anniversary and receiving 6 new members! I am looking forward to celebrating with you! Those who were part of starting the church had great foresight to establish a church in the north-east part of Mississauga in 1986, an area that was growing in population. Over the years, congregants have appreciated the worship, the fellowship and the community they found here at Westminster. This Sunday, let us reflect on where we have come from, and, our present and our future. What does it mean to be faithful in the context we find ourselves in 2026? How do we let the risen Christ live through us and our community of faith? Please join me in welcoming the new members.

You will notice slips of paper on which anyone is welcome to fill in their prayer requests and any other information they may feel comfortable sharing regarding the request.
Requester's name is optional. These requests are accepted with confidentiality and respect and will be provided to Westminster's Prayer Team.
Members of the team will pray for these requests on a daily basis. Prayer works wonders.
SPECIAL MUSIC AT WESTMINSTER
Over the past year, Westminster has enjoyed guest musicians such as soloists, cellists, pianists, drummers. These were folk known to us through friends and family of Westminster people. Do you know a music student or a professional who would like to share their music at a worship service? Please provide the contact information to Rev. Irene. Thanks.
