At St. Paul’s Church, Runnymede children and youth are a vital part of our community. We strongly believe that children are the future of the church and we work to actively include them in our services.
CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Here at St. Paul’s Church, Runnymede children are included in the Sunday service.
A children’s bulletin is included in the weekly Sunday service bulletin. The children’s bulletin includes a children’s message written at an age-appropriate level. In addition, activity sheets (such as a colouring page, word search, crossword puzzle, etc.) are included to reinforce the children’s message. Children are encouraged to read the message and complete the activity sheets during the service; or, for younger children, parents are encouraged to take the message home and read it to their children during the week.
A children’s reflection is offered before the sermon to help children understand what is being talked about in the sermon.
A children’s area is included in the church on the north side of the church. Books, children’s toys, a chalkboard, puzzles, and activity sheets are available for the children.
Don’t worry if your child makes noise during the service. We love to hear the sound of children in the church! They are our future!
We are also introducing a mid-week children’s ministry program for children aged 4 to 18. More details will be provided as they become available or you can speak to our children’s ministry coordinator. Watch for details, coming soon.
