Welcome to
YOUTH GROUP
Once a month we gather with youth in grades 7-12 for games, crafts, and/or service-related projects. All youth are invited to join us.
Check out some of our recent gatherings below!
New Year Baking - Friday January 24th, 2025
Youth Group will next meet in January 2025 for baking, games, and new year intention setting.
November: Movie Night
In November we gathered for a cozy movie night in the friendship room, and finished off with some games. Lots of popcorn and snacks were enjoyed by all!
October: Halloween Activity Night
In October we gathered for Halloween-themed activities. We began with pumpkin painting, followed by a game of marshmallow toss, a chocolate treasure hunt in the sanctuary, and ended with a round of scattegories!
September: Fall Games Night
In September we met for our first youth group gathering of the new school year! We played a variety of games including Where the Cold Wind Blows, Werewolf, and Drawful on Jackbox TV.
June: Games & Pizza Night
In June we had our final gathering before the summer break. We played a warm up 'get to know you' game, and spent the rest of the time playing Monopoly and eating delicious pizza! We were so engrossed by the game that we forgot to take photos of the group!
May: No Sew Fleece Baptism Blankets
In May we had a small but mighty group of youth adding ties to our no sew fleece blankets! We made one adult blanket and one baby blanket, enjoyed snacks, and ended the night with a fun game.
April: Music Composition & Pizza Night with ARISE
For our Youth In Action evening in April, we learned the art of songwriting with folks from Arise Ministry and Kajeb Music. Using the poetry of a woman named Angel Power, as well as other meaningful words and poetry we gathered, Kevin from Kajeb Music helped us collaboratively compose a song, while enjoying pizza generously provided by Arise!
Sandwich Making at Evangel Hall Mission
In April, we took a special trip to Evangel Hall Mission. We were taken on a tour of the Evangel Hall facility, learned all about the important work they do, and made sandwiches!
Palm Cross Making
In March, we gathered for an intergenerational evening to make palm crosses in preparation for Palm Sunday! We also enjoyed snacks and played some games.
Twiddlemuffs for Dementia & Alzheimers Patients
In February, we gathered with Lauren from Mosaic Home Care and partnered to add buttons, ribbons, beads, and other objects to pre-knitted "twiddlemuffs." These will be donated to dementia and Alzheimers patients at North York General and Sunnybrook Hospitals to help keep their hands both warm and busy as they "twiddle" with the bits and bobs added to each muff. Special thanks to Sandy who brought us lots of supplies and helped teach everyone how to sew things onto the Twiddlemuffs!
