In 2025, After a five-year absence, we introduced Sunday morning worship for children using Godly Play. Through creative story-telling and a range of activities, children grow in faith for themselves, where the emphasis is on knowing God, not just knowing about God. We work closely with an Ignite who provide groups for older children and teenagers locally. We sow seeds of God’s love in young hearts through our midweek Toddly Play worship, and in our monthly Messy Church. We are active in our local schools at Swarland and Felton through Open the Book and Collective Worship. And we go out so share these ministries in other parishes too.
