Wednesdays: Labour of Love

6:30 – 8:00 PM

Our desire for Wednesdays is to provide an opportunity for our youth to learn to love each other while imitating Jesus. We want to engage their hearts through relationships. 

We gather at the Church House (room 207, 210), have an activity, sing, look at God’s Word, and discuss and apply it in our small groups. This time is conversation-based. This is our time to discuss God’s Word amongst ourselves and foster conversation about Jesus that needs to be a part of our everyday life. Here is what you can expect on Wednesday nights (September to April):

  • 6:30 – 6:45 – Arrival, small activity 
  • 6:45 – 7:00 – Announcements, singing
  • 7:00 – 7:35 – Lesson time 
  • 7:35 – 8:00 – Small Group discussions, hang out
  • 8:00 – Done

Fridays: Steadfast Hope

7:00 – 9:00 PM

Our desire for Fridays is to provide opportunities for our youth to invite friends to a safe place where they can witness the hope of Jesus.

We like to hang out together and have larger activities. This time is mainly activity-based. Our teens are encouraged to invite friends that do not know Jesus with the purpose of demonstrating the love of Jesus. Sometimes we are at the Church House and sometimes we are on the road. We try to have different areas of activity that our teens would be interested in. Here is what you can expect on Friday nights (September to June):

  • Hang Times
    • 7:00 – 7:15 – Arrival, greeted/check-in at the door (Louth/leader), hang out in the gym (attendance is taken)
