Rev. Clemence Taplin -
Children's Ministry Facilitator
We run a variety of programs for children and youth of all ages.
These include:
Children’s Time
Who: Preschool to Grade 6
When: Sundays, during 10 am Church service
Where: St. Margaret’s Church and Meeting Room
What: The service begins with a Kid's song. Children stay in the service for the children's talk - a brief introduction to the theme of the day. Storytelling, activities and prayer time follow in a nearby room. Children return to their families after 30-35 minutes, usually for sharing the Peace and Holy Communion (parents of young children are welcome to share their bread with their child. Children of approximately four years and over are invited to preparation sessions prior to receiving the sacrament. Activity responses by the children are shared with the congregation as appropriate.
A Mural Created during children's Time.
"Look all around and you will see God's wonderful world. Thanks be to God." A reflection by the children on Psalm 19.
St. Margaret's Youth group
Who: School Age Children
When: 2nd Friday of every month 7-9pm
Where: St. Margaret’s Church Hall
What: An opportunity to enjoy Christian fellowship and to participate in activities, excursions, games and prayer. We also try to create social awareness and responsibility in a positive way.
