Music
Choir
The choir is an integral part of our regular Sunday services, singing anthems and leading the congregation in the pre-service hymn sing. The choir practices Sunday’s in the Sanctuary at noon. All are welcome, and no experience is necessary.
Music Concerts
Gordon United Church sponsors a variety of music concerts throughout the year. Please check our events page for details.
Children’s Ministry
A special part of the service is set aside each Sunday for the Minister and the children to have some time together.
We also have special services several times a year that are particularly geared towards our younger members. There is space in the worship area in to do crafts, projects, puzzles or other activities, as well as space in a loft above the sanctuary where they can make a little more noise and parents can still hear the service. We encourage children to participate in ministries such as reading Scriptures or prayers, lighting candles, greeting people and taking up offering. We hope to see children year round and as often as possible. We also provide at-home faith resources.
Twice a month from September to May we have a children’s program outside of worship. We use multi-age resources geared to different learning styles so the children can be together and learn in their own way. Older children are encouraged to participate and help the little ones. Adult or older teen volunteers are welcome. All adults must have completed a Vulnerable Sector Police Records Check, which is free of charge with a letter from the church.
