Children are an important part of our Church!
|
The main objective of our children’s programming is to help children to know that they are loved unconditionally by God, and to learn the way of living taught by Jesus. We try to support each child with opportunities to learn and grow into caring, confident youth and adults

| Children are welcomed at every church service. To begin, they can sit with their parents where they can draw and colour as they listen. Sometimes you'll find them greeting at the front door, reading a lesson, or taking up collection.
For the really little kids (under 5) we provide Nursery Care that starts right at the beginning of the service.
There's also a rocking chair at the back of the church. for toddlers and their parents to enjoy!
| | During Children’s Time, they gather at the front for a story or discussion with the Minister, after which they go out to Sunday School. |  |  | Our Sunday School program is designed for kids from 5 - 12. Ann Barry, our Church School teacher, is trained as specialist in Early Childhood Education, and she loves to spend time with the kids reading stories, making crafts, and learning about Jesus and the love of God. | For kids 12 and up, we're starting a new Youth Group this Fall. The program kicks off with a sleep-over at the church in mid-October, and will be followed by every-other-week activities on Sunday afternoons. Stay tuned to this website for more details!

|  | Throughout the year there are church services and events led by, or for, children. They've introduced us to the UN Rights of the Child, and helped us think about making our church "greener." Santa Claus comes to our annual Christmas Dinner, and kids are involoved in Pancake Tuesday, the Easter Luncheon, and the Outdoor Service. |
