The Rev. Jennifer Schick, incumbent of All Saints, Whitby, has joined the executive team of the Toronto Children’s Ministry Conference, an annual gathering that seeks to inspire and equip pastors and volunteers who are dedicated to the spiritual growth of children.
The executive team determines the conference’s theme each year, workshop presenters, the conference’s schedule and some programming. This year’s conference will take place on Nov. 2 at St. John, York Mills and will include more than a dozen workshops. The gathering will be sponsored by the church along with the Diocese of Toronto, Blessing for Children’s Ministry and Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec.
The ecumenical conference was first held in 2011 at St. John’s under the leadership of the Rev. Dr. Catherine Keating and a group of lay people and clergy in the diocese. It was run for several years by Wycliffe College and is now hosted by Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec.
