A Sunday group for children aged 7 - 11 years

Explorers meet in the large hall during the 10.30am morning service

Activities include:

Welcoming 'ice breakers'
Creative Bible storytelling
Craft
Theme related play
Team challenges
Small group Bible talks
Praying and sharing

Registration takes place in the cafe area from 10.15am. Parents will be issued with a 'Registered Child Card' for safekeeping and for return when collecting their child at 12.00pm (with the exception of those in years 5 and 6 with parental consent to de-register themselves at the end of each session).

Families then move into the church where an Altogether Time at the start of the service sets the scene for the children's groups.

Parents are encouraged to sit near the front of the church with their children during the Altogether Time before accompanying them to their group.

Children are the responsibility of their parents/carers before going into their groups and after collection from them. Please ensure they are kept safe whilst on the premises by supervising them before and after sessions.
Thank you!
