new Series: the bible
Speaker: Ken Taylor, Lead Pastor
It's great when we get into the book. But it's even better when the book gets into us. We are talking about the Bible . . . the book God wrote. And that's our goal in this series. We want people to be drawn to know and live out the teachings of the Bible. One way of nudging us in that direction is by discovering just how special this book really is, particularly when it comes to how we got it. There simply isn't another book like it. And it’s that reality should help draw us to get into the book in ways we may never have before.
Sunday Programming for Kids & Junior Youth
Programming for Nursery through Grade 8 is available at ALL THREE services!
Grace Kids (Nursery - Grade 6)
We offer age-specific programming for children from nursery through Grade 6 during all three services.
For more info on our programming, head to gracecommunity.ca/gracekids.
Grace Youth Junior (Grade 7-8)
NEW! During 1st & 2nd service, students in Grades 7- 8 have their own class where they meet in our church office building next door with their leaders after worship (see video below to visualize the commute!) On the first Sunday of each month there is no programming for Grades 7-8 at 1st and 2nd service. Kids remain in the service with their families through the message.
During the 3rd service, Grades 5-8 have programming together in the Youth Room.

Help Support Guelph’s Youth Emergency Shelter
We have an opportunity to support a local Youth Emergency Shelter that is currently experiencing a relatively urgent need for meals and snacks.
The City is completing renovations to the shelter’s kitchen, which means staff and residents have limited options for preparing food. Our congregation can help by providing premade meals and snacks for the young people staying at the shelter.
How you can help:
Prepare and drop off a premade meal or some snacks.
Any type of food is welcome - there are no specific dietary requirements you need to accommodate.
If possible, please include the name of the food, ingredients, and reheating instructions.
Drop-off location:
18 Norwich St. E.
The shelter operates 24/7, so food can be dropped off at any time. Simply knock on the front door and wait for a staff member to greet you.
This is a simple and practical way for us to care for young people in our community. If you’re able to provide a meal or snacks, we’d love for you to consider helping out!
wings of hope - seeds fundraiser
Wings of Hope is an evening dedicated to raising awareness about human trafficking in our communities while celebrating the courage, resilience, and hope of women on their journey toward freedom. Guests will enjoy an inspiring cocktail-style evening featuring food and refreshments, special speakers, fundraising opportunities, and stories about the impact of SEEDS (Supporting Every Eve’s Daughter Safely) and the work being done to support women as they move toward healing and independence.
Food Needs In Guelph
Food needs in Guelph are especially urgent right now. Local food banks, Chalmers, and neighbourhood food cupboards are seeing a significant increase in demand. While we are planning to have a Food Collection Sunday coming up in June, the congregation is encouraged to consider making donations directly whenever possible, even before then. Thank you for your continued care and support for our community!
