Children’s Program Information
Children’s Bulletins are located at the entrance to the Sanctuary. They usually contain activities based on the Scriptures used in worship today. If you are a guest you may wish to accompany your child to their Church School class, following Children’s Time. As part of our “Leading with Care” policy, parents are asked to pick up their children from their classes at the end of the Service.
The Nursery: Downstairs off the main hallway.
Church School: Our Church School Students (school age) gather in the “Old Sanctuary” (on the same level as the Main Sanctuary—down the hallway). They begin as one large group to hear, or help tell, the story and then divide into two groups for reflection and response activities.
Stirred up Youth: Our High School group meets down-stairs across from the Women’s washroom, Room E.
We are a “Leading with Care” community.
