Children's Work

SUNDAY SCHOOL Children attending our 10.30am service on Sundays usually stay in the service for about the first 30 minutes and then go out to the creche or Sunday School classes where they are looked after or taught by our dedicated team of volunteers.  We hold family services 6 times a year when the whole church family stays together, and the teaching, singing and praying is designed to be appropriate for all ages.  0-2s  Creche 3-5s  5-7s 7-9s 10-13s YOUTH GROUP (School Year 9 upwards) From age 14 onwards we encourage young people to stay in the morning service to hear the sermon, and then meet again on Sunday evenings at 6.30pm for a mixture of Bible teaching and social activities.  In the summer we go away together to Cumbria for a fantastic youth Christian holiday.
KIDZONE  (Wed 6.30pm, ages 6-12) KidZone is our midweek group for children in school years 2-7 on  Wednesdays 6.30-8pm.  The children take part in a range of fun games and activities and have a 10-15 minute Bible Zone each week.
GOOD NEWS CLUB (Thurs 4.15pm,  Ages 5-11) GNC runs from 4.15-5.30pm and is the ideal way for children to get a child's eye view of the Bible.  Stories, songs, quizzes and memory verses with some art, games and snacks thrown in.   If you would like your child to join either of our midweek clubs just come along and speak to one of the leaders and fill in the short membership form.
HOLIDAY CLUB (5-11s) Each summer we run a holiday club during the first or second week of the school holidays which usually caters for about 60 children from the church and from the local neighbourhood. The programme is packed full of fun and varied activities which revolve around a different story from the Bible each day. There is also an afternoon trip out for each age group, a family night event and a day at the seaside. We finish the week with a celebratory family service on the Sunday morning.
