Sunday Club

We hold a Sunday Club on the 4th Sunday of every month, in the back room of All Saints Church, for children aged between 3 and 12 years.
Our aim is to provide a relaxed Sunday School session full of creative fun and friendship as a gentle introduction to Christian worship.
Each session begins with the main congregation where we share the welcoming prayers and first hymn of the Sunday service before retiring to our Sunday Club room. We then  carry on the session with informal discussion and stories on our chosen theme and provide artistic activities which will hopefully reinforce the discussions we have had and act as a reminder, once the children have taken it home, of the topics we have explored that month.
Near the end of our activities we re-enter the service to take communion and blessings with the rest of the congregation and finish our session with a prayer, song, drink and biscuit.
We try to create a balance between celebrating important events in the Christian calendar, exploring moral issues, learning about Jesus and his teachings and exploring stories from the Old Testament and their relevance in our lives. In twelve hours per year this is no mean feat!
 There are annual Sunday Club picnics or summer outings, smartie tube collections for charities which the children help to select and, come December, all the Sunday Club children love to perform in our yearly Nativity Play and it is always wonderfully received by the congregation.
