Sunday Club for 4-10 year olds

Monthly. Every Last Sunday at for 40 mins
Bodicote: St John the Baptist
Church Street Bodicote Banbury, OX15 4DW, United Kingdom

Exciting news! We are re-launching our Sunday Club!
After our prolonged break, initially due to the pandemic, we have decided we would like to re-start our Sunday Club. Our sessions will be aimed mainly at 4-10 year olds.
Marian and Ann will be running it to begin with – you can come along and meet us at our Family Crafts Afternoon on Saturday 14th December (details elsewhere in this magazine) if you don’t already know us. We both have DBS clearance and safeguarding training and have both worked previously in nurseries and primary school settings.
We will meet on the last Sunday of each month, starting in January (26th), during the 9.45am service. We start in church, leaving during the first hymn to go over to Church House for a Bible story and related crafts and activities, leaving parents to be able to focus on the service without their usual distractions! We will bring the children back to church in time to join their families for Holy Communion.
