JUNIOR CHURCH
Come and join our Children's Groups (ages 0-11's) @ St Paul's on a Sunday Morning
"Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them, because God’s kingdom belongs to people who are like these little children"
Mark 10:14
Junior Church meets during the 10.15 am morning service on 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays of the month.
After spending the first 15 minutes worshipping as a church family, the children leave the main church for their own programme. All children meet together in the VCR (Church Room) for worship together before splitting into groups for age appropriate activities and Bible teaching.
On the 2nd Sunday in each month there is a Family All Age Service, where the children take an active part.

Ages: 0-4 years
For our youngest Bubbles children, who are not yet at school, they leave the VCR after worship and move to the Vestry for their own group time. Here they enjoy free play with a variety of toys, craft activities, story and prayer time.
Parents and carers are welcome to join as they settle their children. For children under 2 years old, we ask a parent or carer to stay with them for the duration.

School Years: Reception to 2
After worship, Splash remain with X-Stream and have games and story together before splitting into groups.
In groups, they have time to catch up with each other and share good news testimonies. They also enjoy teaching, chat, prayer and craft activities.

School Years: 3 to 6
After worship, X-Stream stay with Splash for games and story together, before splitting into groups.
In their group time, they can look at the teaching at a deeper level, often enjoying discussion questions as well. Like Splash, they also share good news testimonies in group time, and they may also have craft activities and spend time reflecting with God.
All the Junior Church children come back into the church at 11.45 am, even if the service has not quite finished. On 3rd Sunday of the month, children come back into the church service earlier in time to celebrate Family Communion together.
For babes in arms who may be restless or need a feed, please feel free to take them into in the Coffee Lounge at the back of the Church. If you need more space, you can come and join us in Junior Church.
