CHILDREN AND YOUTH
AGE GROUPS:
At St Andrew's we believe that the Bible is for everyone and so we try to include our children and young people wherever possible in a fun, interesting and age appropriate way. Below are three ways they can get involved.
All our groups are completely free and we make sure that the helpers looking after the kids are all DBS checked.
Please contact the church office for more information.
CRECHE
During the Sunday morning service we provide care for the under-threes in a creche so that their parents can come along and hear the sermon stress-free.
We provide toys and games for the little ones so that they are kept happy throughout the talk.
SUNDAY SCHOOL:
We run two groups on a Sunday morning to allow kids to get involved with learning about Jesus while the adults are in the service.The Explorers group is for ages 8-12, and the Climbers for 3-8.
In both groups, we have lots of fun, games, songs and crafts, centered around the Bible story we are learning that week.
Come along to the service from 10:30 -11:45 every Sunday!
We also run an after-school club on Fridays called 'FAB club' which you can find out more about below.
YOUTH:
Our youth group meets on Thursdays during term-time from 6:15pm - 8pm for those in secondary school
(11-18 years old)
After having dinner together, we have lots of time for games, sports, quizzes and other activities. We also spend some time taking a look at part of the Bible, and seeing what it difference it makes for us today.
