Provision for Children

We warmly welcome children at both our churches. Please let your children be comfortable and don't worry if they talk or want to explore. Sunday School meets at St Mary’s from 9.45 in the church hall during term time (behind the high altar window.) There are songs, teaching, and arts and crafts. Don't worry if you've missed the beginning of the lesson - you are free to join us whenever. At St Mary’s there are also spaces if you want to stay in the service with children: the chapel which is the left-hand side at the front of church or, if you're worried about noise, you are welcome to use the narthex at the back of church. At St James’ you are welcome to sit on the sofas towards the back of the church if that is more comfortable for you and your children.
