Message from Revd Caroline Risdon for children, parents and helpers of Children's Church

We have been meeting at 11am on Zoom every Sunday since lock down started but I want to ask you what you would like to do now.  The Children's Church leaders had some ideas :

-we could meet in the Hall at 11am for our worship as usual. Only this time we will sit as families around tables for the whole session, including crafts. 
-we could continue to meet on Zoom at 11am. This will be a shorter session of 30 minutes, aimed at  primary-aged children.
-we'd like to hear from those younger people in secondary school- would you like a separate Zoom session where we could have a Bible study and discussion?
-we could also hold a Family Eucharist in the Church on the first Sunday of the month, again starting at 11am.

So, over to you. Please let me know which of the options above you would like using the form below. You can choose as many as you like. This will help us plan our services for the future. I'm looking forward to hearing from you


Please fill in this form to help us gauge interest in things going forward.
