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 our upcoming and recent gatherings below!
September
Youth are invited to join us for a chance to reconnect after the summer break. We will spend our evening chatting, playing games and boxing up care packages for our youth who have recently moved on to post secondary education.
June: Movie Night
After a busy year, our youth gathered to celebrate the end of the school year with a movie and snacks! Together we watched "The Wild Robot" and chatted about summer plans. We look forward to seeing everyone again in the fall!
May: Bowling
On May 23, a group of 9 of us traveled to PlayTime Bowl to try out our bowling skills! It was a great night full of connection, laughter and lots of fun.
April: Beading & Twiddlemuff Decorating
In April, we gathered to do our postponed March project -- beading and twiddlemuff decorating. Twiddlemuffs are used to occupy the restless hands of patients with dementia and Alzheimers. We attached lots of different textures through ribbon, large buttons, pipe cleaners, etc. The twiddlemuffs will be donated to North York General Hospital.
February: Candle Making
A small group gathered in February to make candles to be given as Baptism gifts. Extras were made to be sold as part of a fundraiser towards future Youth Group projects. We also enjoyed snacks, conversation and games!
January: Cupcake Baking Extravaganza
In January we gathered for a creative evening of cupcake baking + decorating, along with games and sharing some of our intentions and things we're looking forward to in the coming year. Our cupcakes were thoroughly enjoyed by all both on the night, and during coffee hour after Sunday worship!
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.
