📅 When and Where?

This exciting event is open to all children who will be going into Years 1–6 in September 2025.

• A free packed lunch each day

• Fun-filled activities, games, crafts, and stories

• And yes… actual bouncy space hoppers!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Invitation – Thursday 14th August

On Thursday afternoon, we're inviting all families to stay a little longer for some refreshments and food, and to see what the children have been up to throughout the week. It’s a great chance to connect, celebrate, and share some laughs!

🌌 What’s the Theme?

This year’s theme is “Space Hoppers” – and while the name might suggest intergalactic bouncing fun (which we definitely have), we’ll also be traveling through time to explore the life of a very special biblical character. But no spoilers… you’ll have to wait and see!

We can't wait to blast off into another fantastic week together – see you there!

Our children's groups provide Christian fellowship for babies up to Year 12 school age. All are welcome to attend. 

There are no groups on the first Sunday of the month as this is our Café Church service where children stay with their families sitting around tables with drinks and refreshments. All other Sundays have a group for children. Visit St Michael's page on the button below to find out more.

All supervisors are DBS checked and the groups adhere to our Safeguarding policy and procedures.

We are taking a break for Summer.

We will be back on Sunday 14 September 2025.

This is our twice-weekly parent and baby/toddler group – open to all, during term time.

Mondays and Thursdays, 10.30am to 12 noon

The sessions consist of circle time, with a Godly Play story, Bible-themed craft activity, as well as our favourite nursery rhymes, ending with a parachute game and goodbye song. The story and theme is the same for both sessions.

Both groups are held at St Michael's Centre, across the road from the church. To support our direct costs, we ask for £3 per family per session, by cash or BACS payment. No need to book. We close during school holidays.

Now taking a Summer break.

Groups will re-start in the week beginning Monday 8 September 2025.

Back on Tuesday 9 September 2025.

Our free Thursday group for 'busy, weary' parents who may not always get time to get to church on a Sunday or would like to find out more about life with faith in an informal setting. 

When you arrive, you'll receive a refreshing hot drink and some toast. It's your chance in the week to breathe, chat and explore something more about the God who loves us. 

We meet at St Michael's Centre on Thursdays. Arrive from 1.15pm for 1.30pm start, we finish around 2.30pm (term-time only). Young children are very welcome, we have plenty of toys to amuse them.
