Sunday School News

Our fall programs will be starting up soon!  Please make note of our important dates:  September 13th and September 20th.  I hope to see ALL of you on those two days especially!



“Connecting Youth; Sharing the Stories: A Day of Learning about First Nations”.

On Saturday, September 26; 8:30 am - 3:15 pm, at Knox Waterloo we will be learning about our connection to First Nations People.  What was the Presbyterian Church in Canada's role in Residential Schools?  What about Healing & Reconciliation (what does that even mean)?  This workshop is aimed at high school and young adults, but adults of all ages are also very welcome to attend.  Throughout the day we will all participate in the Blanket Exercise, a very moving dialogue/visual that will show us, in a very real way, what has happened to First Nations land tracts.  We will hear first hand from a Residential School survivor.  And lunch will be provided.  If you plan to attend please let Joni know (jsmith@standrewshespeler.ca).  This will be a very moving experience for everyone.

A big SHOUT OUT to Pete and Sharon for hosting a campfire evening for our youth group, Soulidified, and their families!  Everyone had a great time.
