Saint Paul's welcomes children to all services.

We have a Sunday school that meet most Sundays during term in the church hall at 9:45 for around 45 minutes. The children join the main congregation before Communion.

Some children prefer to stay in church for the service and as children get older we encourage this as they begin to take their part in reading lessons and serving at the altar.

Crèche

There is a creche area at the back of church for babies and young children.  This area has some books and quiet toys where young children and their parents are most welcome to sit.  We do ask however that if children become very noisy or agitated that parents take them out for a moment to calm down.

We are considering ways to make Creche a more inclusive experience for everyone and value opinions and help in this.  If you would like to help with Creche please speak to Deborah. 

Saint Paul's Sunday School

'Aiming to have a good time and discover about God and the Bible'

A rota of parents headed up by Rod Clark runs Sunday School. The numbers can be around 15 mostly of the younger age group 3-10. The children always enjoy the Bible stories and have interesting comments to offer. They love making things and produce some wonderful work, which is taken home or displayed in the church. At the end of the church service the children speak about their work to the congregation showing excellent understanding of the key messages.

Members of St. Paul's Youth group sometimes help at Sunday School and take part in dramatisations at All Age Worship services.

St Paul's Parent and Baby Group

This group meets on Tuesday mornings in the church. From 10.30 - 11.30am. We have coffee and talk and the babies play on the mat and the toddlers run around the church and find out what a lovely acoustic we have at St Paul's! This is a very informal group providing mums and dads with an opportunity to sit and chat. When the weather is good we sit outside in St. Paul's churchyard. Please come along and join in
