GROUPS 

SUNDAY SCHOOL

We hope to restart Sunday School in the future.  Our young people learn about God's teachings while they sing songs, read stories, talk and do  crafts. We use a multi-age inclusive curriculum that allows us to be prepared for visiting young people as well as our regulars.  During the service the minister invites our young people to the front of the church for a mini-message and then they congregate in the lower hall for  learning time together with volunteer teachers.  

CHOIR

Our Church Choir sings a variety of anthems weekly from well-loved hymns to contemporary gospel and everything in between.  Presently we are meeting periodically to tape anthems.  We hope to return to regular practices in the fall.  Everyone is welcome.

Occasionally we have young people join our choir for special occasions.  We also perform with other local churches for concerts.

Practices will return in the fall.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

Those who craft these beautiful hand knitted and crocheted shawls pray that they will be a comfort and support for the recipient as they do so.  The congregation blesses a completed shawl before it is forwarded to the recipient.  If you know of someone in need, or would like to donate materials or your time to make  items, contact Doreen McHolm     (905) 753-2292.
