Children and Young People
First Steps (0-3)
During our sunday morning service, the porch area is available for very tiny children or babies to use, with suitable toys in the adjacent cupboard and easy access to toilets and changing facilities. For slightly older - and more mobile - toddlers, we run a creche in the church parlour.Sunday School (around 3+)
Children and families are always most welcome on a Sunday morning and we have a lively, well attended Sunday School where we enjoy exploring our faith in fun and interesting ways. Our children's groups meet every Sunday morning during the 9.30am service.We have three age groups, roughly: 3-5 years; 5-10 years and 10+ years. There is also a crèche for very young children. Each week we share news and prayers together before going into our separate groups for more age specific activities. We help to lead four special services during the year: Mothering Sunday, Easter Sunday, Harvest and we always have great fun putting together a Nativity presentation as part of our Christmas celebrations. We also organise family activities like a trip on the canal or to see the Kinver Pantomime.
Our purpose is to give the children a good grounding in the principles of the Christian faith and develop their knowledge and understanding of the bible. A prayer tree is used each week to encourage talking to God and we often pray for church members and the church as a whole.
