Children & Families
Hopscotch
Hopscotch is our lively Thursday morning toddler group. Run every Thursday during term time from 9-10.30 with nursery songs and stories for our preschool children and carers. Running late? Please don’t worry and just join us when you can!
The Benefice welcomes families and children of every age to each and every service! No worries about noise made - this is their home too!
However, for nervous parents, we have something specially made for little ones every Sunday somewhere across the town and villages. All are welcome to anything and everything!
Fifth Sundays, when they happen, are always something a little different…
Second Sunday - Allage @ St Mary’s 10.30am
A short service of songs, prayers and readings for all the family.
First Sundays - Refresh! @ Oldbury 4pm
An interactive service with crafts and discussion and video readings starting with refreshments.
Third Sunday - Allage @ St Paul’s 9am
A short service of songs, prayers and readings for those early morning people!
Fourth Sunday - Muddy Praise 4pm
The venue for this changes monthly, so do check beforehand. Wellies on for a walk, an eco craft, bible stories and a simple supper together.
Dads and Kids
All are welcome. The craft and activities each month are designed especially for Dads, Uncles, Grandfathers and carers’ to enjoy with the kids.
