Parents and Toddlers
The Parents and Toddlers group meets on Wednesday afternoons (1:30 to 2:30) during
school term in the Church Hall.
A typical session will begin with action songs and a prayer. After this, there
is a time for play and activities. There is no charge for entrance, but a small
charge is made for refreshments. There are often 35-40 children, plus parents
and carers.
The aim of the group is to offer support to those in Prudhoe beginning family
life, and to act as a link to the Church.
Young Church
Young Church meets in the Parish Hall on Sunday mornings in school term during
the 10:00 am service (except for the first Sunday of each month - the Family
service). The youngsters attend the first few minutes of the service in
Church and are then escorted by leaders to the Parish Hall for Young Church.
The children who attend enjoy all sorts of exciting activities - craft,
singing, stories and so on. If you are aged between 3 and 10, then this is the
place to be!
The leaders are all members of the congregation who have been Police checked.
