Southwater Parish Church

Fun and faith for bumps, babes and preschoolers, their mums and carers

Introduce your little ones to God through interactive storytelling, music and play. Each week there is a craft activity and each session rounds off with snack time, with refreshments for the mums and carers. We finish in time for school run at 3pm.
Mums and carers - when was the last time someone made you a cuppa? It gives you a chance to share your week among friends.
Our lovely and caring leaders have all been DBS checked and trained in safeguarding.
All are welcome - meet us in the church!

We take a break during half term and the school holidays

Start the weekend with God!
A quiet service of prayer with time to reflect with friends.
If it's a nice day you'll find us outside the church enjoying the sun and God's creation as we pray. Otherwise we'll be in church - on the comfy chairs by the altar. All are welcome to enjoy and share God's peace and to pray for local, national and global concerns on Saturday morning.

For young people at High School, a chance to explore the Bible in more depth and find out about living as Christian today. Our DBS checked and safeguarding trained leaders are warm and welcoming.
Recent activities have included short performances in church of Bible stories, finding out about (and experiencing) the tastes and smells of the Bible, Christmas around the world, and, the star of Bethlehem. Gaining valuable life skills, our young people now perform, give readings in church and have recently written and led the prayers in the all age service.
A key theme for 2018 has been God loves each and every one of us, saint or sinner, and gives a voice to the weakest in society.
Join us in church at 10am. All are welcome.
