CHILDRENS CHURCH

There is now a thriving and very active group of children in the Church. They meet every Sunday at 9.25 for guided activities relevant to the church's year, which often involve painting, drawing, acting, games, and stories, but related to a theme.

On St Swithuns weekend in mid July the theme was water related, and the activities included wellie wanging, apple bobbing, and hand painting. The children normally come into church in time for the communion, and then towards the end of the service they tell us what they have been doing, often accompanied by 'MUSIC'.
As this was our patronal festival weekend there were also some games after the service, including sack, and egg and spoon races.

The fourth Sunday of each month is St Swithun's highly successful All Age Service where the focus is on families and children. The children are encouraged to participate in the service through activities, song and stories relevant to them.
This takes place in an informal atmosphere at 11.00 a.m. Baptisms may also take place during this service.

Dates for the next All Age Services are:
22nd August,
26th September,
24th October,
28th November
