CHILDREN’S GROUPS ON SUNDAY MORNINGS

Matt is exploring the possibility of launching children’s groups during our Sunday morning services and is keen to get these started in the near future. He believes these groups would be a real blessing to our church family by: Providing age-appropriate teaching and discipleship for our children. Helping children build friendships and grow together in faith. Supporting families and enabling everyone to engage more fully in Sunday worship. His hope is to develop groups that broadly follow the Key Stages used in schools, initially focusing on: Preschool (ages 2-4) Key Stage 1 (Years 1-2, ages 5-7) Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6, ages 7-11) Each session would include a mixture of: Play and fun activities Worship Bible teaching Prayer

NEW SUNDAY 10.30 PATTERN

Please see below for a summary of our new Sunday 10.30 pattern of services.

As we begin this new pattern, we’ll be reviewing things as we go and making adjustments where needed. Please bear with us as we work out what works well and what may need to change.

Above all, please pray that as we gather each Sunday, God will meet with us, draw us closer to him, and lead us as a church family.

Week 1 – Altogether Sunday Gathering together for worship, prayer and teaching as one intergenerational church family.

Week 2 – Options Sunday Beginning together in sung worship, followed by a choice of ways to engage: · Sermon (remain in main worship space) · Creative activity (in the Arches Rooms 1 & 2) · Bible study/discussion (in the Arches Room 5)

Week 3 – Altogether Communion Gathering together for intergenerational Holy Communion.

Week 4 – Sermon+ Sunday
Beginning together, with the option to: · Stay upstairs for an all-age talk · Move downstairs for a longer-form sermon

(Week 5 – Altogether)
In months with a fifth Sunday, we may offer additional options and explore age-specific provision.
