Parent & Toddler Group This group meets each Wednesday, in term time at 10.30am. We have babies as well as toddlers at the service. We begin with a bible story and songs with musical instruments followed by prayers and 'sweetie time, the children then make something (with lots of help!), The parents then have a chat over coffee while the children play. If you would like to come along then just turn up on the day, we would love to welcome you. Sunday School The children gather with the adults in church, we have a children's talk before our 'sending out' prayer. They then go out to the back hall with their teachers. They rejoin us later in the service to share with us all they have learned during their session. The first Sunday of the month is All Age Worship and the children remain in church for all of the service and take an active role in it.
