Children's groups meet during the 10am Sung Eucharist. Children go to their groups near the beginning of the service, and return in time for communion:
Junior Quest is our group for children aged 7 -11, and meets in the Church Hall.
Smilers is our group for 4 -7s. It follows a course of Christian education called 'Godly Play', and meets in the choir vestry.
Little Saints is for pre-school children, and has stories, songs, and play. It meets in the priest's vestry.
On Wednesday mornings there is Songs and Stories at All Saints, for pre-school children and carers. This is a short very informal service with instruments and action songs, followed by play and drinks.
Children are also involved in All Saints through the choir, acting as acolytes, sidespeople and readers. The Parish Playweek in the Summer holidays is based at All Saints.
Parish-wide Quest Groups for those in years 7, 8 & 9 are held during the week for friendship, fellowship and learning, and there are ocasional social activities for secondary school age children: bowling, video evenings etc. |
