Greeters are at the door to hand you a bulletin outlining the order of the service. You enter the coat room first and there is an open archway to the worship area. Refreshments following the service are in a room attached to the sanctuary. From this room there is a hallway which leads to the washrooms, nursery, choir room and stairs to Sunday school.[/swmsc_text_block]

The older kids attend the first part of the service before heading up to a Sunday school group of between 6 and 15 kids. The congregation is very tolerant of toddler noise and restlessness, kids dancing in the aisles and general kid mayhem. Rev Rita genuinely loves all that the kids contribute and welcomes them to the communion table.[/swmsc_text_block]
