Learning about LBGTQ – our discussion of community extends to “whomever you love” so we will be discussing fairness and compassion to everyone and  how this plays out within sexual/gender roles in our society.  Age-appropriate discussion and  activites… including constructing a huge rainbow banner for this coming June’s Pride parade…

This week we’re talking about the Kalahari desert and desertification.  We will explore the interconnected web of life found in deserts and how desertification is effecting parts of the world including some areas in Saskatchewan!

Note to parents: Children will be handling horticultural sand and messing with glue, please consider sending your children with play clothes this Sunday.  Paint shirts are available however.  

This week we’re talking about the Jungle and the interconnected web of all life. We will explore how the Jungle is it’s own ecosystem and then head off for the City Conservatory at the Mendel to explore some Jungle like plants!

Note to parents: Children will be heading to the Conservatory around 10:45 am. We do need extra drivers! Snack and activities will take place at the Conservatory until 12 noon, then we will return. For those children who need to remain at the centre past 10:45 am, parent supervised activities will be available. Please be advised that children need to have been registered in the RE program for 2011-2012 year (forms available Sunday morning) in order to take part in the field trip. Thanks!

Happy New Year ~ 2012

We’re starting off the year with some exciting projects, and we’re already up to the Letter J in the Oxfam Globe in a Box curriculum.

Here’s a glimpse into the activities planned for the month:

J for Jungle – we’ll be looking at what takes place in a jungle and its importance as an ecosystem. If possible, a trip to the Conservatory will occur during the all ages time frame (after the service).

K for Kalahari – the topic here is the desert and all of it’s wonders – we’ll have fun making sand candles and getting creative with sand art.

L for LGBTQ – we’ll all work together on a rainbow banner for this year’s Pride parade in June.

M for Money – there will be no end to the ideas to discuss here – the King Midas story for a start, and how money works around the world.

So, what goes on Sunday mornings?

We’d like to walk you through it.

At 10 mins to 10:00 you have arrived. You have taken off your shoes and are hanging up your coat. Now where do you go?
