Children

You and your family can be a part of church life! We would love to see you.

Here is how you can get involved.

Sundays

  • 9:30am service: We have a children’s activity pack when they arrive and during the sermon a craft that is related to the service is available. We encourage children to stay with their adults during the liturgy and communion: there is a child friendly version of liturgy for children to follow along the service with.

  • 11am Service: Children can engage in the service as well as join the children’s table during the sermon. We encourage children to stay with their adults during sung worship and communion.

  • Church at the Table: This is a monthly service which is led in a creative and engaging way. It is different to what you might expect a ‘normal’ church service to look like but, it is guaranteed to be fun, inclusive and rich in God’s word.

Toddlers

  • Tuesday at 9:30am (term-time only) – This is a space to share in early years (under 5’s) fun, stories and songs. Parents/carers and appropriate adults can enjoy community, a cup of tea and share experiences with other parents.

Church at School

  • Monthly at School: Our church at School is for children who attend the local C of E school. We gather with parents/carer and appropriate adults and children engage in worship together, a bible story and fun!

Thursdays

  • On a Thursday at our 9:30am Mass we have a Toddlers area for parents/carer and appropriate adults to be with their children.

Holiday Clubs

  • Holiday Clubs are a good opportunity for children to learn more about Jesus in a fun and engaging environment that is outside of normal church routine. We have not yet got the dates for 2025 but we will publish them as soon as we do.

Our Children and Families Lead, Sarah, is available at all these programmes and services, we also have an amazing team of volunteers who have been recruited using safer volunteer recruitment including DBS checks and more.
