The Gospel challenges us, regardless of our age, or wisdom, or understanding, to continue to grow in our knowledge and practice of the Christian faith. For the youngest members of our church family, just beginning their spiritual journey, Duncan United Church plans its Sunday School programs and activities with a view to fostering a feeling of community, understanding, and connection with the “whole family of God”.

On Sunday morning . . .

Children learn acceptance, inclusivity and stewardship as they actively participate in our worship service. Children join with their families in worship through music and prayer, and take turns carrying out special tasks such as ringing the bell, lighting the Christ candle, assisting during the time of offering and helping serve Communion. After gathering for a special children’s time and family hymn, children and youth gather in age-appropriate Sunday Journey classes.  A few times a year we have “Everyone Upstairs” Intergenerational services that offer children and youth the opportunity to participate in a full worship service and gather together as a family.

Nursery

Our bright and cheerful Nursery is available for the convenience of parents with very young children during the church service. A television screen allows the service to be heard and seen in the nursery so that parents can stay with their children and still participate in worship.

Sunday Adventures

Our Sunday Adventure program uses the “Whirl” curriculum (From Sparkhouse Publishing House) to offer age-appropriate activities for children ages 2 to 12 in the Sundance Room. A story, craft and snack is presented by our teacher Sarah Prestwich, with lots of opportunities to play with other children.
