What's the Buzz: An Update from Brynna

 Hello, re.spire families!

Can you believe it's June!? Summer is here which means no school, lots of outdoor fun, and some serious chaos for families!

We at re.spire have been working hard to ensure a fun filled summer for your child! 

First and foremost, we will not be stopping our weekly Sunday school programming. Regular Sunday school will continue all through the summer months, so feel free to come by to listen to a story, do a craft, and have some Godly fun!

Next up, I am excited to announce that our annual RMT Karaoke fundraiser is back! Join us on July 18th from 1-4 in the gym of Stoney Creek United Church to sing and raise money towards our annual musical theatre summer program.

Speaking of RMT, we are FULL! There are no more spots available to register, and it has been closed. We are excited to run the program and even more excited for you to see it on August 28 - with more information to follow! So stay tuned!

If you haven't clicked the follow button on our Facebook or Instagram, what are you waiting for?! We might be slow in posting, but all important information will be on our socials! Give us a like and a follow.

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 We are moving away from the outdated Sunday morning only programming, and towards non-Sunday events!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!
