Teen Bible Quizzing Night

Something New for Teens in Our Community! 🌟
Starting this September, Lion Heart Youth (grades 7–12 at The Gathering Place & Emmanuel Congregational Church) is launching a brand-new program called Bible Quizzing — and it’s open to ALL teens in the community, whether they’ve ever been to church or not.
This is an awesome opportunity for students to join a team, have fun, and build memorization and teamwork skills in a friendly, positive environment.
So, what is it?
👉 A fun, game-style competition with buzzers, teams, and lots of fun
👉 A chance to build confidence, sharpen memory skills, and make great friends
👉 A safe space where teens are encouraged, supported, and challenged
• Weekly Quizzing Nights: Beginning Tuesday, September 16, 7–9 PM (running September–May)
This year, we’ll be exploring 1 & 2 Corinthians together — but no prior knowledge is needed! We’ll learn in a way that’s fun and engaging. And to top it off… at the end of the year we’ll take a weekend trip to Muskoka Woods! 🎉
If you’re looking for something new for your teen — a place that’s safe, encouraging, and a little competitive 😉 — come check it out!
Bring your student (and their friends!) to our Intro Night on September 9 at ECC to see what it’s all about.

Ephesians
How can we live more authentic lives?
Christian community can be difficult to navigate.
We are called to live in unity with other Christians, but that is sometimes easier said than done. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians addresses hypocrisy, unity, and other key issues the church still struggles with today. Dig deep into Ephesians and discover the practical insight intended to help you live and worship in harmony with your fellow believers.
In this Bible study you will find:
• 14 lessons to lead you through the book of Ephesians
