Groups & Activities: Children and Young People
St Paul’s provides a home to a variety of regular groups and activities aimed at children and young people, details of which you will find below.
Toddler Group
Toddler Group runs every Monday morning from 9.30-11.15am during term time. Babies, toddlers and pre-school age children will find a great selection of toys, books and a weekly craft activity to entertain them, whilst their parents and carers can enjoy a catch up with friends, tea, coffee and cake. Water, juice and a selection of healthy snacks are also provided for the children.
Messy Church
Messy Church is held at various times throughout the year at St Paul’s – most recently on Saturday afternoons. It is aimed at families with children of all ages who want to experience church in a fun, creative, celebratory and welcoming environment. A typical Messy Church event might involve playing games, getting involved in craft activities, story-telling, singing songs and listening to music. A light meal and drinks are also provided. Messy Church is a free event run by volunteers. However, donations towards our running costs are always gratefully received.
