Pebbles |
| Pebbles
is a group for children from four years and
upwards, where they are introduced to the
Christian faith in a fun, friendly and informal
way..
Pebbles has continued working well,
with a whole range of adults working in pairs with the younger children who come with their parents or
guardians to the Parish Communion on Sunday mornings.
The group meets
in the choir vestry during the first part of the service for their own ministry of the Word.
They usually rejoin the adult congregation at the peace.
Each of the leaders is with the group for six weeks.
In a previous summer, some of the children joined in the production of “Afloat in a boat…” a musical based on the story of Noah.
The group meets
on Sundays at 10am and new members are welcome.

T
Service |
T Service is a regular event for parents/carers and young children, which meets fortnightly in
Church for half an hour of worship, story time and craft activity, followed by a bring-and-
share tea.
The T Service, now well into its third year, continues with enthusiastic support of children and adults, and a resolve to continue and grow on the
foundations on which it was built.
Parents/carers are becoming more involved, gaining confidence in story telling, craft activities, prayer time, and domestic duties.
In the summer holidays, parents arranged a trip to Noah’s Ark Farm, a great day out for children and for the adults.
It is encouraging to feel this growing sense of joint ownership and team spirit.
The sense of fellowship with the church community and beyond, continues to grow and there is more overlap with Sunday worship, festivals, social activities and study groups.
The Osman bequest has enabled us to increase our video library, which has proved very popular, and provided us with a quieter activity after tea.
Diary for T Service
T-Service is a fortnightly session for children
up to aged 10 held on Saturdays, in church, from
4.30 until 5.45 pm. It includes songs, stories,
art activities and prayers – and there’s a
bring-and-share tea too. So the children feel
like they’re going to a birthday party every
fortnight!
Parents can leave their children with us for the
session if they’re school-age, or they are
welcome to stay and enjoy the fun with us.
You don’t need to book, just bring your children
along to St John’s church (not the hall) with
something towards tea (like crisps, cakes,
biscuits or fruit).
If you want to find out more about T-Service,
please call Catherine on 9577911 or Charmaine on
