We see an important part of our work here to be encouraging and supporting families through the journey of parenting and childhood in any way they might need. To that end, we regularly run Parenting courses, provide targeted family support in difficult times, look to provide mentoring as needed and events which support the whole family's faith journey. Throughout the year we run among other things Children and Family Breakfasts and special services at Easter and Christmas and an Alternative to Halloween Event.
Midweek in termtime we run two groups to support family life.
Wednesday 11:30am-1pm
BLT
Babies, Lunch and Toddlers (BLT) in the church hall is a group where all carers are welcome with children age 4 and under. We meet to play and chat, for a delicious homemade soup lunch with tea and coffee, and homemade cake afterwards! All soups are vegetarian, but we can also cater for any dietary needs you may have. For children who can't eat (or don't like) soup... feel free to bring their own packed lunch.
Friday 9:30-11:15am
Friday Connect with Friday Minis
A group for parents and carers to partake in Bible study, prayer and worship, while the children (up to and including age 4) are looked after by a lovely team, and also have an opportunity for Bible stories, simple activities and some singing.
