Children at St. Mary’s
FISH & CHIP CLUBLast term saw the launch of our Fish & Chip Club at St. Mary’s. It is for primary school age children as before and meets most Sundays during the 10.00am service. However we also plan to meet some other days and sometimes not on a Sunday. Sarah is so far the only leader, as before, but we look forward to other helpers coming forward! We will at some point have a meal of Fish & Chips!
The dates for this term are:
January 15th First session of the Fish & Chip Club. Meet in Church at 10.00
January 22nd Family Service in the Church hall at 10.00
February 5th and 12th no Sunday meeting
All Sundays until March 18th when there is a Famiy lService in the hall at 10.00
Last meeting before Easter on March 25th.
Children’s Good Friday Service on April 6th at 10.00am in church. All enquiries/ bouquets/brickbats to sarahmckearney*btinternet.com (replace '*' with '@'Nurturing a spiritual life in children is not just about Bible teaching but also about having a lived faith. Sharing in other activities takes away the ‘Sunday special’ mentality and makes a Christian faith something that works in real life for all ages.
It has been suggested that we write our own service leaflet for all children who come to church and this will be our first activity. It will mean looking at what happens in a service and what it means. Useful for all ages again!
There are some new bags for younger children hanging up by the organ. Please ask for them if the usher hasn’t pointed them out.
ALSO please let Sarah know your thoughts as parents as we ago through the term. Maybe we need a T shirt and logo???!!
Babies and children are always welcome at all services to stay with their parents, join other children for the activities or just take time out in the Vestry. There are toys, toilet and changing facilities in the Vestry.
This is the building halfway between the gate and the church and has a notice outside saying Vestry!
It is always open during services.Queries? Interested? Want to be put on the children’s work email?
