SUMMARY OF ALL SAINTS' CHILDREN & YOUTH GROUPS
|
At All Saints' Church we normally have Sunday Morning Services at 9.00am (Communion) and 10.15am (Family Service). We do get children to the 9am service, but the 10.15 family service is 'all age' and more suitable for children. A crèche is available during that service plus Sunday Clubs that operate in the adjoining hall. Children start off in the family service and then go out to the Sunday Club for a while before returning towards the end of the service. All Saints' have very enthusiastic Sunday Club leaders who can teach the children about Jesus, the Bible and our Faith in a fun way.
Coffee is served in the hall between the two services and again after the 10.15 service and this is a good chance for the children to run around, mix with each other and with the adults from the congregation.
The inclusion of children and young people in the activities of the church is vital both for the growth of the church and important to the growth of the young person in the understanding of the Christian faith and the community of the church.
The parish supports children taking communion prior to confirmation and runs appropriate courses for this and for baptism and confirmation. (Contact: Rev'd Elizabeth Inall - Tel: 713007)

Please click on the 'Children and Youth Activities' link to go to that website where there's a lot of information about all the young people's groups at All Saints' Church and who to contact.

Music Group:

A growing group of young musicians, assisted by a few adults, play at the 10.15am Sunday Family Service about once a month using a variety of instruments. The youngsters practise and receive help and encouragement from the adults, and their contribution at services is valued. Not just musicians on instruments, but we welcome singers as well.
The All Saints' Music Group practise just before a family service.
