At St Julian's, there is a service of Holy Communion every Sunday at 9:30: it lasts about an hour and is followed by coffee and chat in the church hall. There are usually four hymns and readings from the Bible, with a sermon built around and developing one or more of the readings. Tots and Teddies runs for 90 minutes every Wednesday (except in school half terms, Easter and Christmas). Children from 0 to 4 are very welcome, with their carers. Every Thursday at 9:15 there is a short service of morning prayer. Also on Thursdays there is a Community Cafe serving hot drinks and cakes from 10:30: this is followed at 12:15 by a service of Holy Communion.

Tots & Teddies

Occurring
Every Wednesday at for 1 hour, 30 mins
Venue
St Julian's
Address
3, Abbott's Avenue St. Albans, AL1 2HY, United Kingdom

Service with a story, worship and activities for pre-school children and their carers. There are big push-along toys and big mats for babies. We serve tea, coffee, juice and a snack for the children. Carers bring the snacks (on a rota) - usually one will bring something savoury, one something sweet and one some fruit.
We usually meet in school holidays, often with slightly older children too. Sometimes in Summer Tots there are just informal craft activities and snacks. We don't meet at half-terms (so not on 18th February) or during the Christmas and Easter holidays.
There is more information on the Tots & Teddies page (under 'About Us'): this includes important information about safe use of images.
