Whether you come full of faith, full of questions, or simply seeking a moment of peace, you’ll find a warm welcome and space to pause, pray, and reflect.

Join us at St David’s on Good Friday morning for a gentle, all‑age time of reflection, creativity, and community. This relaxed gathering is especially suitable for children, with simple activities that help us explore the Easter story in a way that is accessible, thoughtful, and engaging.

We’ll share short reflections, hands‑on crafts, and quiet moments to think about the meaning of Good Friday together. Children can move around freely, take part in the activities at their own pace, and enjoy a warm, friendly space where everyone is welcome.

Whether you’re a family, a grandparent with little ones, or simply someone who appreciates a reflective start to Good Friday, we’d love to welcome you.

Come as you are — stay for as long or as little as you like — and be part of this special moment in Holy Week.
