The North Toronto Cluster of Churches – 10 United Churches in our neighbourhood – will cooperate in youth work for the first time this year.
The youth events will be happening on 4 Friday nights and one weekend between September 2019 and April 2020, each time at a different church of the North Toronto Cluster. The events are supported by the GO-Project, a branch of the United Church of Canada that deals with youth ministry.
The first event is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 20th, 6-8pm at Rosedale United Church (159 Roxborough Dr, Toronto, ON M4W 1X7).
We will have food, play games and get to know each other.
It will be a great opportunity to get to know teens from other churches and to create the basis for fun joined events in the future.
We will be meeting at 5:10pm at Leaside United Church and go by TTC together. We will also go back to Leaside United Church by TTC.
Contact Natalie Jahn if you are interested in being involved.
Faith Exploration
For youth 12 years old and up
This program will focus on questions related to faith and spirituality and encourage personal reflection and group discussion.
Th goal of this program is that youth will be able to make one of three informed choices:
The program will run from October to May, and include 7 in-house sessions, 4 field trips and 3 volunteering opportunities at Leaside United Church. We ask participants to commit to attending at least 5 in-house sessions and 2 field trips, and to volunteer 3 times at Leaside United Church.
Due to the large amount of preparation that goes into that program we ask that you kindly confirm participation with Natalie (jahnnatalie123@gmail.com) by Sunday Sept 29th, 2019.
