Cadets: Boys ages 7 to 14 meet weekly to train in becoming more Christlike in all areas of life. The evening is started with opening exercises, devotion from Quest magazine, snack time, craft time in the woodshop, and the evening is ended with a fun game. Along the way we do extra activities like sledding, a snow derby, marksmanship, fishing and have fellowship with friends and role models.

Beginning in September and running through April, Cadet meetings are held every Tuesday evening from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. We meet at Emmanuel Reformed Church, on Clarke Street North, across from Huron Park Secondary School.

GEMS: Gems Girls Club meets weekly to encourage girls to shine brightly for an unchanging God in an ever-changing world. They sing, do crafts, engage in service and encourage each other to their fullest potential in Christ.

Beginning in September and running through April, we meet on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. You are always welcome at our club and we hope you will join us every Tuesday.

Youth

Certain things are imperative to know on our walk with the Lord. Join our Pastor as he outlines the building blocks of our faith in this class which can prepare you for your own Confession of Faith.

Beginning in September and running through April, we meet on Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m.

We team up with Maranatha CRC Youth Group each Wednesday night so there are more kids, more volunteers and more events! From Bible Studies to Tree Trekking and Sledding, there’s always neat stuff on the schedule for high-school aged kids!

Adults

Note! Coffee Break is temporarily suspended due to Covid.

Some people have asked me what Coffee Break is, and what we do. We welcome the opportunity to explain. We are not a club. There are no dues, no president, vice-president, secretary, or treasurer. We are a group of "Friends" who simply "Love the Lord", and enjoy each others company. We praise God singing the old familiar songs our parents and grandparents have taught us long ago, and which still mean a lot to us. We follow with a short devotion, read a story, poem, and yes, we even share a joke. God is the centre of our fellowship, and He has blessed us beyond words. Our group has grown from 22 from the first time we met, and has brought out 52 people at our last meeting this spring. Our God sure is an awesome God, and to Him belongs all the Glory. If you have never joined us before, we invite you to do so this fall. You will not be a stranger, but a FRIEND.

Beginning in September and running through April, we meet the first Friday every month at 10:00 a.m.

"Crafting, Caring, Sharing", as a group make varying projects to support organizations around the world. We sew, knit and crochet things like slippers, hats, and dishcloths. We even make simple things like finger puppets for kids and sqaures to sew into afghans. Our CCS group is a fun group of which to be a part. We have a great time together, admire each others latest project, and we seem never to be short of conversation or laughs! Come and join us anytime and see for yourself what we’re all about! We’d love to have you!

Join us the first and third Wednesday of every month at 10:00 a.m!

Small Groups meet for Bible Study and fellowship throughout the month. Please contact the office if you are interested in joining one.

Beginning in September and running through April, Emmanuel Church Women meet the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month at 1:30 p.m. to encourage one another with a themed Bible Study followed by refreshments and fellowship. We also fundraise through special events to support our church and community.

Another little place holder...
