Matthew 21:15-16
When the religious leaders saw the outrageous things he was doing, and heard all the children running and shouting through the Temple, “Hosanna to David’s Son!” they were up in arms and took him to task. “Do you hear what these children are saying?”
Jesus said, “Yes, I hear them. And haven’t you read in God’s Word, ‘From the mouths of children and babies I’ll furnish a place of praise’?” [The Message translation]
We do not currently have an active program for children and youth.
We are connected to the Pacific Mountain Regions First Third Ministry programs, such as:
-
- Imagine: a Children’s Retreat,
- Youth Retreats,
- United Church Camps,
- Faith@Home magazine, and
- Camp Spirit
- Imagine: a Children’s Retreat,
First Third Ministry bears witness to God’s radical welcome, calling communities of faith in Chinook Winds, Northern Spirit, and Pacific Mountain Regions of the United Church of Canada to cultivate spaces of belonging where children, youth, families, and young adults are known, loved, and invited to share in a life of faith rooted in the way of Jesus.
Sometimes our worship is very active and interactive, but sometimes it is not.
Either way, children and youth are always a welcome and valued part of our community of faith. There are books and activities set out for them each week. Their questions are encouraged and their insights are appreciated.
We have some volunteers and program ideas that we are ready to put into action.
We’re just waiting for more children (and youth).
For more information about any of the First Third Programs please contact us.
