                                    Any children are welcome to join the Sunday School. The children are taken out of the service during the first hymn and return during the Offertory. Sunday School consists of various activities such as stories, singing, colouring etc. based on the Forward Teaching resource and Sermons 4 Kids.

                                    There are also Mass books and other resources in church that any child may use.

                                    There is also a play table where under fives can play but please note that parents are responsible for their child at this table. 

                                    For any enquiries about Sunday School or resources for young people please do talk to Mrs Claire Davies.

                                    Thinking about confirmation?

                                    Confirmation marks the point in the Christian journey at which you affirm for yourself the faith into which you have been baptized and your intention to live a life of committed discipleship. This affirmation is confirmed through prayer and the laying on of hands by the confirming bishop. The Church also asks God to give you power through the Holy Spirit to enable you to live in the way of Jesus.

                                    Stories from Storynory
                                    Adam and Eve

                                    _The First Christmas
                                    This is undoubtedly The Christmas story, explaining how it all began when Mary gave birth to Jesus in a stable. The Three Wise Men, The shepherds, and King Herod all put in appearances.
                                    Picture
                                    Noah's Ark
                                    When God sent a great flood to destroy almost all his own creation, he chose Noah to save the animals and preserve life on Earth beyond the great disaster.
                                    Joseph
                                    Joseph and his Coat of Many Colours
                                    Joseph is sold into slavery by his brothers who are envious of his beautiful coat, a gift from their father. He finds himself in Egypt where his fortunes are soon on the rise.
                                    Moses
                                    The Ten Commandments
                                    At the top of the mountain, God told Moses ten things to remember. They were the ten things that make a good or bad person. They were called The Ten Commandments.
