Kids and Tween Programs
Children and teens begin the 10:30 srvice with their parents in the church. After the opening announcements and hymn they gather at the front of the church and follow the cross to their Sunday school room. They’ll rejoin their parents in church just before Communion.
Sunday School is held during the 10:30 service in the Library and the Chapel. Children from the ages of 5- 9 follow the Godly Play Curriculum. The Tween group (ages 10 – 12) meet every Sunday morning at 10:30 except Family Sunday (the 3rd Sunday of the month).

Babies and Toddlers are Welcome Too
We have a well-equipped nursery that is staffed at the 10:30 service, located at the west side of the building beyond the library and Sunday School meeting.
At the north side of the church there is a quiet play area in the Cloister for parents who’d like to keep their babies or toddlers with them. There are a few quiet toys and some activity sheets kept in the drawers and colourful file cart. There are also ‘pew bags’ with a story book, crayons and activity sheets available at the back of the church in colourful striped bags.

Refreshments and a Time to Chat
After the 8:30 service and 10:30 services, refreshments provided by volunteers from the congregation are available in the parish hall. We meet in the parish hall for coffee, tea, juice and a variety of cookies. During this time people have a chance to meet in a time of fellowship.
