What's the Buzz: An Update from Brynna

 Hello, re.spire families!

I hope your summer is going just swell! Ours is flying by - between summer camps and family camping trips, I can't believe we are already halfway done summer!

Thank-you to all of you who joined us for the karaoke fundraiser! We had such a great afternoon of singing and laughing!

RMT is fast approaching! Our program starts on August 17th, and we will dive straight into "Hamlet"! Please join us for this kid friendly Shakespeare classic on August 28th in the Sanctuary of Stoney Creek United!

Sunday morning programming is still offered every week, and we welcome any and all children to join us!

Stay tuned and up to date with information and events through the church website or on Facebook and Instagram!

Stay cool, and Christ-like!

Peace & Joy,

Brynna 

 Stoney Creek United has undergone a change - like so much of the Christian world. We are moving away from the outdated Sunday morning only programming, and towards non-Sunday events! Why? Well, mostly because we recognize that on a Sunday morning, you're tired, the kids are tired, and a chill day at home sounds PERFECT! Or you're running out the door for hockey, dance, guides, soccer, swim lessons, cheer, scouts, cadets - the list goes on and on and on. Sundays just don't work - but a weekday evening or a Saturday afternoon might! We hear you, we see you, and we listen to you. 

 So how do we show we have changed how our children and youth ministries work? By giving it a new name, of course! Introducing re.spire a children and youth ministry breathing new life into our community through various programming opportunities.   

Stoney Creek United and re.spire aim to provide more options for spiritual growth. Letting you "play, breathe, repeat" while your little enjoys some wholesome fun. re.spire Children's Ministries actively practices what we preach in our traditional Sunday School programming: radical kindness, overwhelming love, and unending inclusivity within and around our community. We provide free events to all children and youth - no matter their beliefs, background, socio-economic standing, orientation, or religion. Everyone is welcome, and everyone is loved. This is how we at re.spire and Stoney Creek United live our Mission Statement: Discovering and Sharing God's Love for All. This means all children - no matter what - are welcome at any and all events  by re.spire Children's Ministries. 

Sunday morning programming is still provided every Sunday morning at Stoney Creek United and we now start in the Sanctuary until our re.spire moment (click the menu button "SUNDAY" for exceptions, when we have special services; or look at our social media accounts). All children are welcome to join!
