Children's Hour meets in term time during the 9.30am Holy Communion Service. The children have their own instruction in the Church Hall and then join the congregation for the end of the service so that they can be blessed during Holy Communion. Parents are most welcome to stay with their children in Children's Hour, if they wish. About eight times a year Children's Hour is merged with our Family Services. (This year, for example, we have had Family Services on festivals such as Christmas Eve, Mothering Sunday, Easter, Harvest etc. as well as special services e.g. "All Creatures Great and Small" when we gave thanks for our pets.)
Children may join from the age of three, though this is not a rigid rule and staff are happy to discuss what is suitable for each individual child. At the age of nine children move on to Wayfarers.
