Children are a gift from the Lord, they are a reward from him. Psalm 127:3
Good News Gang
Good News Gang is the name for our Sunday children's work which takes place during the service on all bar the 3rd Sunday in our activity hall.
We provide a fun filled session of games, craft and Bible teaching and the children also enjoy a drink and snack.
New children need to be registered with the team on their first visit and so we ask parents to bring their children into the hall to complete the relevant forms. We gather this data for the purposes of safeguarding, medical needs and being able to contact parents/carers either during the service or mid-week if the need arises.
Unashamed
Unashamed is our Youth Work. The name was chosen by our young people and is refers to Romans 1:16.Every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month we have an open social night at church. We have activities including Wii, Table Tennis, Singing, Craft, Games, Tuck Shop and more!
We have the 'Youth Shed' which our young people can chill out in or play on the Wii whilst sitting in one of comfy bean bags.
The Youth Shed is also where the Sunday discipleship group takes place during the service.
