Sunday School

• After the Sunday Morning Worship Service
• September-April
• Children ages 4-8
• At the Church

“…telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.” Psalm 78:4

This text reflects the mandate that we at Zion URC are striving to fulfill as we teach Sunday school from year-to-year. The children all meet together with their teachers and a song leader and spend some time together singing and learning Bible songs to the praise and glory of God. After this time of singing, the students go with their teacher to the classroom, where they hear stories and lessons from the Word of God. The Bible stories are presented to the children in such a way that they will come to see the complete “story” of the Bible – God’s plan of redemption. It is our hope and prayer that the children will see the awesome wonder of God, and come to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, sent to earth by God the Father through His love, and that the Spirit will work in their hearts even at a young age to help them understand what sin is and to convict them of their own sin and seek forgiveness through the cross of Christ.

Kingdom Seekers

• First Three Fridays of the Month
• September to April
• Time: 7:15 – 9:15 PM
• For young girls from 9 to 13 years old.

The Kingdom Seekers a ministry for girls. Evenings are dedicated to Bible study and crafts. The Bible studies deal with daily situations either in the family, at school or interaction with each other. With each study touches on the biblical aspect of how to live a God fearing life. Badges are geared to daily activities such as, God’s world in nature, studying books of the Bible, baking, caring for others and much more. The season’s Kick Off and Rally are two of the outings that are enjoyed with other Kingdom Seeker groups in the area. We also have special events, such as Bowling & Pizza Night, special father/daughter evening, mother/daughter evening, camping and more.

Cadets

• First Three Fridays of the Month
• September to April
• Time: 7:15 – 9:15 PM
• For boys from 10 to 13 years old.
• At the Church Building

The goal of Cadets is to help boys grow spritually in all areas of life – devotional, mental, physical, and social.

A typical Cadet meeting starts with opening exercises including Bible reading and prayer. The boys then break into their cadres with their counsellors to do further Bible study. The last part of the evening is spent doing a variety of badges, or small projects designed by the counsellors.

Each year we participate in the annual Snow Derby in February and the Cadet-A-Ree in April with other United Reformed Churches that form the Berean Cadet Council.
