Children and Young People are very welcome at all our services.
We are committed to including babies, children and young people in all aspects of our life together, enabling them to live and grow in faith. Children are admiited to receiving the Sacrament of Holy Communion at about the age of 8 and prepared for Confirmation from the age of 10 upwards.
Very young children there are 'Happy Bags' for parents to use with their children. There are creche facilities in the tower which has a sound system so parents do not miss the service!
Between the ages of 3+ and 11+ there is the very popular Sunday Club. This meets in Church House at 9.40am and the children join the congregation part way through the service. There are three age groups and new and occasional members are always welcome.
The Ark is for babies, pre school children and their parents and carers. It meets in church on Wednesdays at 2pm for a story, a prayer and a song or two and is follwed by activitioes and play with time for a cup of tea, chat and home in time to meet older children from school. The regular celebration of birthdays is a highlight!
