Programs & Times
All Children’s programming has gone digital as we are encouraging physical distancing, please check out our Children’s program fb page, where Laura (director of children’s programs) is posting activities for children and families to take part in.
To receive the planned activities directly to your inbox, please drop Laura a message via the contact form below.
Nursery (0 – 4 years) Young Children can enjoy our supervised nursery. The service can be heard over speaker should a parent/guardian wish to stay with their young child. A wide variety of toys, books and craft materials provide a creative and fun environment.
Children’s Program (Pre-K – Gr 6) Children gather downstairs for their own programming service, before engaging in classroom activities. Parents are more than welcome to join in.
Children and Youth groups are scheduled to end at 11:30 am. If the service upstairs ends before this time, parents are welcome to have tea or coffee and socialize until the programming is finished.

Director of Children’s Religious Education – Laura McNaughton
Laura DRE
I am delighted to be the Director of Religious Education for this congregation again! I spent four wonderful years working with this congregation’s children, youth and families nearly 20 years ago. This allowed me to move to a similar position with a larger American congregation for a while and to work for our national body, the Canadian Unitarian Council. I have been a member of the congregation for 25 years and have spent much of my volunteer time working with our children and youth as well. I love giving young people the space to ask questions and play with big ideas. I look forward to our Sunday mornings together!
