Children & Youth

All Saints’ strives to provide an easy and comfortable experience for children (and the adults who bring them). That may mean children playing in the pew with one of our specially-made activity packs*, toddling in the aisle, or joining in our Sunday School program. We want children to enjoy their place in the church and to feel the place of the church in their lives.

All Saints’ Youth Group (for ages 12-17) meets in person on the last Friday of every month at 7pm. Older children also have options for participation in Sunday worship at any of the three services. Many take an active role in the service by reading Scripture, leading prayers, or taking a turn as a greeter or server. Others routinely help in Sunday School, or they assist with the camera and a/v for the livestream. Some just sit in the pews and astonish everyone with their maturity and faithfulness.

Sunday School is offered at the 9:30am service for children ages 3 and up. Just after the opening hymn, children are invited to meet the Sunday School teachers by the pulpit and make their way to the parish hall. Parents and guardians are welcome to accompany the children to see where they are going and what they are doing.

Under the guidance of two teachers*, the children explore a Bible story through workbook activities, songs and rhymes, a themed craft, and games, all of which allow the children to experience the message in a variety of ways. Often the lessons that the children are learning mirror the ones being presented to the adults in their worship. Children do return to the church with their teachers in time for the Eucharist (communion).

At all services we also have play tables and activity packs for those that want to stay put in the pews. Activity packages include paper, storybooks, crayons, colouring sheets, and things, and are available from the greeters or sidespeople at the south (main) entrance of the church.

*All individuals working with children at All Saints’ have a police record check and sexual misconduct policy training every three years.
