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!
We know that June can be busy with school and summer preparations but we welcome any youth who are available to join us on Friday, June 20 for a movie night. It will be a lowkey time to unwind and connect before we break for the summer.

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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
