SGC Kids: (In-Person) Worship Gathering

Family Registration Forms: In order for us to provide our ministry to the children of our church, we require new registration forms to be filled by their family every year as part of our policy to protect. Please fill out our form through this link : http://tiny.cc/SGCFamilyRegistration

To help keep everyone safe from the spreading of Covid-19 and other variants, we will be registering families in accordance with the guidelines and policies from which our church is operating. Parents and caregivers will need to reserve space for themselves and their child(ren) when registering for Sunday worship. To fully register children for our SGC Kid’s Ministry, please also select the correct “add-on” tickets for their worship group. To register for Sundays please use the following link: http://sgcworship.eventbrite.ca

We have modified our structure to help with our numbers, as well as to ensure safety regarding covid.

Nursery -Pre-K (0-3 Years) -Orange Door Room

JK/SK -Grade 2 (4-7 years) -Children’s Theatre

Grade 3-5 (8-10 Year) -Hallway Next To Youth

Lounge

Following the Children’s blessing, parents/caregivers can escort children in their care into the basement of the building from the Northwest entrance facing the parking lot. In the basement, we have marked out two paths to help regulate the flow of traffic and help ensure 6ft of distance while checking in kids into their areas. We encourage families with children in multiple areas to first signin older children and follow the path for additional drop-offs. The flow of movement allows all our parents/caregivers to exit through the same door after finishing the dropping off of children. After our announcements in the adult worship, we encourage you to follow the same procedure for picking up.

Additional Information: • All SGC Kid’s volunteers are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 • All our kids will be asked to remain masked while together inside • We have structured our seating for children to have 6ft of distance between them and others . • Our children’s ministry will not be providing snacks during their time together. • We are using a new curriculum this year and excited for what we’ll be talking about!

Here is what we will be talking about on Sundays! Big and Small: Do you ever stop and think about how big God must be? God created this whole world, all of the planets, and stars in the sky . . . God is really big! Knowing God is big can make us feel small and sometimes not important. But the truth is, even the small things are a big deal to God. The story of Job can help everyone realize that even though we are small, God listens to our big feelings, God sees the big picture, God cares about every small problem, and we can also be a big help in small ways.

Since we have rebooted our in-person children’s ministry, we are inviting the parents and caregivers from our church for an info night about our ministry, the values and direction that we are taking on Sundays with our kids. We will also be discussing the new curriculum for our church, as well have a conversation on how we can work together in discipling our SGC Kids. If you’d like to join us for that please sign up through the following link - http://tiny.cc/ParentInfoNight
