The following are other small groups within the ministry; warriors’ dancer, Jewels of praise choir, drama, summer play scheme.
Our children are also encouraged to be to join various ministries in the main church.
Play scheme
We run a summer play scheme for two weeks every August and accommodate children from the ages 4yrs to 12yrs. This year will take place from 6th-17th August 2007. We hope to be out and about enjoying what we hope to be a lovely summer. This year we are hoping to go away on a residential trip to Frontier centre in Northamptonshire for the second week. The play scheme is opened for the whole community and the costs are kept as low as possible.
Christmas production
Every year during Christmas holidays the children put together a production and take over the last Sunday service before Christmas.
Family Day events
We hold three events in a year that incorporate the whole family.
- Day Trip to the beach
- Sports fun day August bank Holiday
- Sunday service around Oct/Nov
Your children will be cared for and have a fun time in their class. We use games, arts and crafts, singing, drama and video to teach your children about God. Your children will want to come to church.
