Collage of SPLASH eventsAre you a young family with pre-school or infant school aged children? Then come and join the chaos...

Splash! is a group of friendly young families spending time together learning about life and God's love. We are a mix of Christians, those just having a look at the idea of a God and those who just like hanging out! As we learn together we enjoy Advent, Easter and Harvest parties, BBQs, treasure hunts, days out and brunches amongst other things.

Get in touch – we'd love to have you along. Contact the Parish Office for more details.

 

 

 

 

 

Movers & Shakers (Sunday morning Crèche)

Collage of Creche

The Crèche is for 0-3 year olds and takes place during the Sunday morning service in the Crèche room and Jacob room at the back of the church.

The Crèche room has a leader & helpers for people to leave their children with when the children go out of the service. It is child-focused and the sermon is not filtered through.  Where possible the Crèche leader for that day will provide refreshments and free play. Parents who are working towards leaving their children in the Crèche are welcome to stay.

For children aged 20 months to 3 years, parents can choose either creche or Tumblers depending on what suits their child best.

The Jacob Room is for parents who don’t wish to or are not able to leave their children in the Crèche room. They may use the room to chat or listen to the sermon on the speaker system.  There will be a selection of quiet toys for the children to play with under their parent’s responsibility.

 

Junior Church

Junior Church takes place on a Sunday morning during the service.

Tumblers is a Junior Church group for 20 months to 3+ year olds with Songtime, bible story, activity, & playtime. It takes place in the back room of the Parish Hall.  Parents can choose either creche or tumblers depending on what suits their child best. Parents welcome to leave their children once settled.
