For Kids

Playgroup – 10am-noon Wednesdays starting Sept. 21

This group is designed for families with preschool children. This is a time of fellowship, and a time for children to play together. The highlight of our morning is circle time at 11:30am where we sing songs, do stories and learn about the world around us.

Kids Choir – September 14

Kids Choir will be on Wednesday evenings starting on September 14 in the lower chapel at 6:30pm. Regular attendance is required to perform. We will be performing in the Main Auditorium during the Christmas Season.

Kid’s Church – Sundays at 10am

A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT ABOUT PSALMS & PROVERBS (Starting September 11)

Did you know that every day is full of adventures that we get to choose? Some adventures are small, like choosing which book to read. Others are bigger, like deciding how to react when a family member makes us upset. It’s not always easy to know what is best but there is hidden treasure you can take into every choice: wisdom. Wisdom is a valuable gift that helps people choose what’s best. Together we can choose wisdom, by not choosing sides, choosing our words carefully, choosing to do good, and choosing God!

Let the Adventure begin this Fall! We are excited to see the word of God come alive in the lives of our children.  We will be focussing on learning the books of the Bible, bringing their Bibles to church and knowing their memory verse and yes we will be doing sword drills once again! We have ordered 72 Adventure Bibles and devotionals to do at home. You can help support the next generation by making a donation, or helping to fill our treasure chest with fun dollar store prizes. For more information please contact Pastor Sherri (sherri [at] gtsudbury [dot] ca).

For Seniors

Seniors Moments – 1:30pm Thursdays, starting Sept 22 (excludes first Thursday of the month)

Seniors Moments is a time to gather together around God’s Word. We will meet at 1:30pm in the Upper Chapel in-person and on Zoom. This Fall we will be continuing our Walk with Matthew the tax collector as we once again look at the life of King Jesus. N.T. Wright says, “Matthew’s gospel presents Jesus in a rich, many-sided way. He appears as the Messiah of Israel, the king who will rule and save the world. He comes before us as the Teacher greater even than Moses. And, of course, he is presented as the son of man giving his life for us all. Matthew lays it all out step by step and invites us to learn the wisdom of the gospel message and the new way of life that results from it.” Please sign up on Church Center, call the church office (705-522-4523) or simply just show up! You can contact Pastor Josh (josh [at] gtsudbury [dot] ca) for more information.

JOYful Occasions – First Tuesday of the month, starting October 4, at 1:30pm

These will be times to “recline at table” with one another, enjoying food and the company of friends. Sometimes there will be a devotional and other times we may have a special speaker or speak on a special topic. But the main purpose will be to fellowship together so that we may, in the words of the Apostle Paul, be “of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.” (Philippians 2:2, ESV). And all this with the ultimate purpose of having the same mindset as Jesus Christ, so that through our lives people would see him and “so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:10-11, ESV). For more information please contact Pastor Josh (josh [at] gtsudbury [dot] ca).
