Children (4-13)
Groups for children in Reception to Year 8.
Discoverers (Reception to Year 4)
Sundays mornings during the service
Discoverers meets on Sunday mornings at the same time as our morning service (11:00am - 12:15pm). We join the main church service at 11:00am, and go to our group after about 20-25 minutes. Our sessions are focused on the Bible, with plenty of chat and activity.
We enjoy adding to our video case Bible library - we have a case for each book in the Bible and each week we put a small reminder of the Bible story in the appropriate box. It helps us to remember what we've been learning about and is great to look back at from time to time.
Encounter (Year 5 to 8)
Sunday mornings during the service
Encounter is a Bible based discussion group for children in schools Year 5 - 8. We meet on Sunday mornings during the service (11:00am - 12:15pm), starting in the main church service for worship and then meeting separately for an age appropriate focus. Our time together is relaxed, with an opportunity to play games, discuss how the Bible can be applied to our own situations, and pray for one another. We are eager to support parents in discipling their children in whatever way we can, and to be a proactive in this area as is appropriate.
Energise
Fridays (during term time)
6:30pm - 7:45pm
At Energise the children play games, cook or do crafts in an informal setting. We aim to teach something of the love of Christ through instruction, practical example and friendship. We aim to achieve this through a short, gospel-centered talk; building relationships with the children (and to a lesser extent, their parents); showing care and concern; and making church a fun place to be.
An evening at Energise starts with a gospel-centered talk and the opportunity for the children to ask questions about it. After this, children are free to use the facilities available to them as they choose. They may cook, play table top or running around games, or make from a selection of available crafts.
AUTUMN TERM DATES: 12th September to 12th December with a break for half-term on the 31st October.
