Little Fishes Toddler Group

Mondays, 10 – 11 30am at St John’s Church

Little Fishes is a friendly and welcoming toddler group for pre-school age children and their carers. The chairs are cleared from the church to make room for a large selection of toys including tunnels, ride-ons, home corner and shop, books and puzzles, block-building and tools, road, track and vehicles, playdough and a soft area for babies. We spend the first 50 minutes chatting and playing in this area, where a supervised craft activity is also run by one of our helpers. Then we spend the next 20 mins – half hour at the other end of the church, at tables or on the floor, for our Praise Time where we sing and play instruments, pray and hear a short thought from the Bible, which is often involves opportunity for participation from children and adults alike. We finish the session with refreshments, including hot and cold drinks and delicious home-made cakes.

We’re here every Monday during term-time. If you like the sound of this, do come along and give it a try. There’s no need to book, just turn up – we’d love to meet you!

 First Sunday of each month, 4pm at St John’s Church

TeaTime Church is a relaxed and interactive, all-age service for children and families. We begin with half an hour of crafts and activities that allow a good opportunity to chat for those who prefer this, and lots of chances to move around for those that have more energy! The craft activities relate to whatever it is we’ll be thinking about during our Bible Bit. 

The Bible Bit follows the crafts and activities. We sing songs and play instruments, say some short prayers together, and hear something from the Bible, which always requires help from those that are willing to give it!

We finish our time together with a cold buffet tea, which gives more time to chat and catch up. Please just turn up and visit us if you’re interested, you’ll be made really welcome!
