Welcome to the Gaetz Kids Program

Gaetz Kids Sunday morning program runs from September to June.

Sunday School/Playroom

Our Christian Development committee has volunteers in the Playroom each week. We are very excited for our new curriculum this year that is play based and developmentally appropriate for our learners. On the first and third Sundays we will have a hands-on curriculum lesson based on the lectionary and on the second and fourth Sundays we will have a Playroom scripture story and small activity based on the scripture. If you are interested in being a volunteer contact our committee at [email protected]

Sunday school will be on the first and third Sundays of the month and playroom will be available the second and fourth Sundays of the month.

Upcoming Events:

Youth and Young Adult Night- Friday May 10 at 5:45 pm. Kin Kanyon Night- bring your own fast food and join us for a big game of hide and seek in the park.
If you have any inquiries about Christian Development, Sunday School, FUN Fridays, adult education, or volunteer opportunities, please talk to a member of our CD committee (Kathleen Reid, Melanie Grant, Marsha Anders, Colleen Cromwell) or email [email protected]

Playroom

What is the purpose of this PLAY ROOM? PLAY! And joy!

Within these walls and upon this floor the feet will dance of children playing, stretching, exploring and challenging themselves with new achievements as the years go by. Memories of goodness are made in such moments as this place will bring.

The Playroom is available from newborns to pre-Kindergarten (4 years old) during weekly worship services. The Playroom is open during the first part of the worship service if any families need the time to wriggle and giggle and a volunteer will be in the playroom to supervise play and maybe share a story or two (following the Time with Children & Families in the service).

For parents who prefer to keep their children close to them, an Activity corner is provided at the back of the sanctuary (chapel side), stocked with toys and activities.

If you are interested in volunteering/participating with the exciting faith journey of our children and youth please contact the church office or email Melanie and Kathleen at [email protected]

Gaetz Youth Scholarship

The Gaetz Youth Scholarship honours a High school student who is an active participant at Gaetz and has made a significant contribution to the life of the congregation. The funds given are used to help the student attend postsecondary school.

If you would like to contribute to the scholarship, please contact the office.

Congratulations to Rhondda Gower and Kayla Cromwell, the 2023 Scholarship recipients!
