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 refers to Romans 1:16.Every 2nd and 4th Sunday during the service there is a youth focused discipleship group.
We have the 'Youth Shed' which our young people use for this and it is a great space designed for them.
