Children’s Worship

Children and youth are an integral part of our church family.

On Sunday mornings we begin worship in the sanctuary with a Youth Connection time with the minister. We then meet together as a group to explore either the day’s scripture reading or a themed topic. These are explored through Biblical stories, discussions, games and activities, always relating them to current events and the youths’ own experiences and perspectives. We also like to spend time just ‘hanging out’ and getting to know each other better!

Being an active member of our church community is also encouraged during our Youth Connection time. This is accomplished by participating in activities such as:

·         Lighting our Christ candle and peace candle each week

·         Serving communion

·         Taking up the offering

·         Planning and participating in fund raising activities (we love to cook and bake!)

·         Working with other church committees to support their work both within the church and the wider community

We hope you’ll join us and become part of our family!
