There are opportunities for the kids – for creativity and fun, as well as running around and letting off steam, playing games, making friends, and discovering for themselves all about Jesus and how to follow Him.
There are also times for some relaxation, support, encouragement, and friendship for parents and carers.
For more information about our children’s groups, see below, or contact the Office.
Crèche
