Learning and Being Youth

Children's Ministry

We hold our Sunday School in-person sessions twice monthly, on the first and third Sundays. Final session before summer: May 4. Hot Dogs during Fellowship Hour!

     The sessions, for children in JK – Gr. 6, begin downstairs in Immanuel Hall at 10:30 a.m. for Bible stories, crafts, and other activities. Then those in the class come up to share Holy Communion. See Karen Bishop, co-ordinator, for more information.

 The seasonal children's' activity pack, for Easter/ Spring, is available for pick-up or drop off. For the latter, email

 Activity sheets for each Sunday are available in the front hall and are also emailed on Thursday. To sign up for these: osimm@tbaytel.net .  

  There are Adventure activity bags under the mailboxes inside the entrance to the sanctuary, for children to enjoy during worship.
