There’s a variety of activities on offer for young people and children of different ages.
Sunday School
Sunday School is held during Parish Communion at 9:30am on most Sundays .
All children under 11 years old are welcome to attend and those under 5 should be accompanied by a parent please. There will be crafts and fun in the Thomas Field Hall whilst the service is going on in church. For more details or to see how you could help, please contact Claire Beard on clairerdonovan@googlemail.com.
There’s no Sunday School in school holidays, or when there’s a Café Church Service (usually the second Sunday of the month), or when the Sunday morning service is held elsewhere (usually the fifth Sunday of the month). See the Services Calendar for specific dates.
In normal times…
Workshops and Holiday Club
Messy Church* and other workshops are held at various times throughout the year for children aged between 5 and 12.
A Holiday Club is held annually at the end of August. Younger children are normally accepted provided they are accompanied by an adult. Parents are welcome too as helpers or partakers.
Teenagers
Occasional Supper and Discussion Evenings are held for teenagers. Watch the Calendar and News pages for details.
*Messy Church at Home
Messy Church hasn’t been stopped by the coronavirus outbreak…it’s just moved to Messy Church at Home!
We are sad that we still cannot meet together at Messy Church for the time being, but please use these activity sheets and share them with family and friends (download links are given below the browsing windows).

Young Minds‘ mission is to make sure all young people can get the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what.
“Whether they need a reassuring conversation, specialist mental health support, or simply the knowledge that they are not alone in how they are feeling, we will make sure that all young people get support that meets them where they’re at as quickly as possible.”
Headstrong
Headstrong is a Christian based on line resource working with Youthscape where teenagers can ask questions about life in the pandemic, tell their faith stories, listen to others, and do fun stuff.
