Family Services
We try to ensure that all our services are family friendly. Revd James is completely happy to have children in any service and prefers, if they feel they can, for children to be sat near the front where the exciting things happen. If possible he askes the children to help him out, if they can. And our wardens will invite children to help give out books or take the collection if that something they'd like to do.
When we have our Family Services they are for all age groups and offer a chance to participate in worship together as God’s Family.
Services are generally about 45mins long, we sing well known hymns, and have a Bible Reading. There's an informal ‘talk’ which can involve the children and young people.
Worship is then usually followed by tea and coffee - please feel free to stay a little longer and get to know each other.
From time to time we also have a parish meal, or bring and share lunch, a picnic or go for a walk. See the diary and weekly bulletin for details.
Messy Church
We know that busy families with children often find that Sunday is not always the easiest day to attend church. So we have been developing a programme of worshipful events on other days.
Prior to lockdown we'd begun to have a monthly Messy Church on Saturday afternoon. We''d like to start again but need volunteers and to know if it's something you'd like us to do. When we can put it on, it's a time when Families can creatively explore their faith together away from the formalities of a Sunday service. Compete the form if you want to get information about Messy Church and our regular newsletter. See also Parish Events for details.
