Family Services

It is remarkable the number of things many families are able to fit into the average week. Besides school, there are events, activities, outings and a host of different things that take up our time and attention. Indeed it can be quite an eye-opener reading Christmas circulars sent by friends in different places. We realize then just how busy some families are and how much they pack into their week. Recently we have been told that we are far wealthier than we were twenty years ago. The evidence from how much we fit into our leisure time certainly seems to bear this out.

But now here are some questions. What about God? Where does He fit into our thinking and planning? Do we have time for Him and for learning about His will and commandments? The answer to these questions is often, of course, in the negative. We have no time for Him and think little about Him. So what can we do about this?

Continuing our family theme through the spring and on into the summer, we are holding more of our Family Services on Sunday evenings. These are services lasting about forty-five minutes which are specially designed with the young in mind. There are readings from the Bible and a message which is given with the help of visual aids. We sing hymns and we finish with refreshments. It is suitable for all children of primary school age. These services are suitable for parents too! The dates are given below and you will be most welcome.

So we urge you to make time to hear the word of God for yourself and for your family. The Bible has wisdom for all ages and the message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified has power to bless our families in 2008 and always.

Children's work

Sunday School

Our Sunday School takes place during the Morning Service and if you would like your children to come, they would be welcome at the beginning of the service at 10.45 during which the Pastor gives a ‘Children’s Talk’. The Sunday School itself begins at 11.15 and takes place in the ‘School Room’ at the rear of the church which can be found by going down the drive between Lloyds the Chemist and the church.

Seekers club

Most Thursdays we hold a club for young people of ‘Primary School’ age. There is Bible teaching, games, crafts, quizzes and other activities. The times for those aged 5-7 (Infants) is 5-6pm and for those aged 8 and above (Juniors/Seniors) is 6-7pm.
