Children

Children of all ages are welcome at our worship services.

During the service, we provide a low table with stools for children at the back of the sanctuary with paper, coloured pencils, stickers and quiet activities, and chairs for their parents. There is a carpeted room downstairs with a rocking chair and toys available if parents need a separate space for nursing infants or active young children.

Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of most months (check our Facebook page for more information) in an intergenerational worship setting, followed by a congregational pot-luck meal. All ages are welcome at our Communion table.

We look for ways that children and young adults can participate in worship services: providing music, scripture, taking up the offering, participating in drama, bringing forward Communion elements or simply opening up the kitchen doors for after-church refreshments. We also look for ways children can participate in the wider life of the church — such as packing Christmas food hampers with folks from other TrueCity churches.

We follow the Leading with Care policy of our denomination, The Presbyterian Church in Canada, in order to provide a safe environment for children and vulnerable adults.
