Children’s spaces are located on the lower level; a member of the greeting team can direct you there. Families are also welcome to sit in the family-friendly area of the Sanctuary during worship; this area offers room to move and engagement in quiet activities. \nFollowing the service\, all are welcome to gather in Stewart East Hall for Coffee Hour. \nIf you are new to the space\, be assured that you are welcome here and we are glad you have chosen to join us. If you have any questions\, feel free to stop by the church office to ask\, or simply turn to a neighbour for assistance. We are known to be a friendly and welcoming congregation\, and we’d be happy to help. \nWatch online \nShare:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n Like this:Like Loading...
