Christian Education 
for Children
4 and up

Sundays at 9:15 AM

We use Godly Play, a programme inspired by the Montessori approach to education. Children are encouraged to explore, and to deepen and expand their spiritual awareness.


A typical session lasts about an hour. It begins with a story from the Bible, which is followed by discussion, prayer and a craft project of each child's own chosing. The session continues with a clean-up by the children and a snack, which the children call a "feast". Before it there is a blessing over the food, and after it there is a thanksgiving, which brings the session to an end. During the prayers the children are invited to include their own contributions.






Who We Are
We are an inclusive and diverse congregation, drawn from a number of different backgrounds. For example, you will find amongst us both anglophones and francophones. In addition to cradle Anglicans, our people come from United, Presbyterian, Baptist and Roman Catholic backgrounds. We are bound together by a desire to love and serve Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our aim is to be a a Christian family, centred on the Eucharist, where all can find refreshment in spirit, growth in faith and understanding, and an opportunity to serve others.

Now there are a variety of gifts,
but the same Spirit;
and there are varieties of service,
but the same Lord;
and there are varieties of working,
but it is the same God who inspires them all in every one....

For just as the body is one
and has many members,
and all the members of the body,
though many, are one body,
so it is with Christ....

Now you are the body of Christ
and individually members of it.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6, 12, 27
