For pre-school children
Parents are always welcome to bring their children to services and the Second
Sunday Service is designed to be particularly family-friendly. On the
first and third Sundays of the month there is a supervised crèche
for the youngest children in the narthex (between the main door and
the central part of the nave) within easy ear-shot of parents. Families are
encouraged to bring their children up to the communion rail for a blessing.
The 'God Club'
For children from 5-9 years, 'God Club', our 'Tuesday Sunday
School', is held at the back of the church from 3:15 to 4:30pm
on most Tuesdays during term time. Stories, Craft, Music
and Fun (plus drink and biscuits!). The narthex windows show the wonderful
artwork that the children produce.
