If infants become fussy or restless during the service, parents are free to use The Baby Spot. The Baby Spot is a lounge which is always open that is equipped with a glass wall and speakers so that parents can be with their children and still hear and see what is going on in the service. There are also age appropriate toys to keep your little ones occupied.
Seedlings is a program for toddlers ages 1-3 years that is designed to nurture the seeds of faith that have been planted and to encourage toddlers in their exploration of God, the world, and others. Our goal is to provide a safe, Christ-centred environment where each child is encouraged to grow spiritually and have fun at the same time.
Parents are encouraged to sign their child in and drop them off in the Lounge and then go enjoy the worship service. The children will then all be taken downstairs to our Seedlings room for their programming, which includes music, Bible stories, snack and playtime. You can have full assurance that your child will be safe with our staff and that they will never leave our care unless they are with you. Our room is well stocked with clean, age-appropriate toys, and loving, trained, and screened volunteers.
The children will be brought back upstairs to the Lounge so that if you wish for them to join you for communion they can be picked up there. Our staff will stay in the Lounge to play with any children who are not picked up for communion, in which case parents can pick their child up after the service is over. For their safety, children will only be released to the person who signed them in.
In order to provide a safe environment, we ask that children older than 3 years (children in JK) take part in Kornerstone Kids.
If you would like more information about Seedlings, or would like to volunteer to help please contact Brian or Naomi Suggs via the church office - (905) 477-1991
Kornerstone Kids is a new format of Sunday School designed especially for children in J/K - Gr. 6 and includes worship, games, lessons, skits, and examples of how to live a life of faith in today’s world. Kornerstone Kids is split into two groups, children in JK-Gr.2 and children in Gr.3-Gr.6.
We believe that in order to reach kids with the gospel we need to present it to them using familiar forms of media. Kornerstone Kids uses PowerPoint and DVD's to enhance the lessons and worship.
The children are dropped off in the Church Hall before the 10:30am Sunday service, here they spend some time all together singing and dancing in worship. The children are then split into their groups and taken downstairs for their respective programs. The children are brought back into the sanctuary in time to have Communion with their families. For more information about Kornerstone Kids please contact Brian Suggs via the church office - (905) 477-1991.
Students in grades 6 to 12 can meet downstairs in the Choir Room. They will have a program designed just for them and will join their families in the Sanctuary for Communion.
