Children's Circle and Youth
In Fall, 2020, we offered Children’s Circle and Youth:
- Outside, in parks
- Using curriculum and activities inspired by the Wild Church movement and A Rocha
- Close to Thomson (where we typically meet for services)
**We ask families to bring their own lunch and hand-sanitizer
Winnipeg is now: CODE ORANGE. We will NOT be meeting outside for Children's Circle and Youth.
Children under 12 will be accompanied by either:
1. Their parent or adult caregiver, or
2. Another family’s parent or adult caregiver.
That is – At least one adult will accompany every two sets of siblings.
During non-Covid times, we have typically offered Children’s Circle and Youth programs:
- 3 times per month, after the regular service
- October to May
Children’s Circle for Children aged 2 – 5
Children have a snack, hear a story with Godly-Play visuals, and do an art or drama or other activity relating to the Bible story.
We use Godly Play (Montessori-structured) curriculum . There are two volunteers guiding the children. Parents are often present to help out where they can.
Children’s Circle for Children aged 6 – 11
We use Shine and Joyful Path curricula. There are three volunteers guiding the children. Parents are welcome but are not required.
Youth Group
We use a variety of curricula and resource people. The Associate Pastor and one volunteer guide the youth. Youth often have a once a month fun activity outside of regular church hours.
