little acorns | little monkeys | children's worship
On Sunday mornings we run a Sunday School for children aged between 4 and 11 years. They stay in the main meeting for worship and at about 11.10 leave to go to their classes in
Sunday School area.
Creche facilities are offered for babies from birth to 18 months in our baby creche. This is open from the beginning of the meeting for feeding and changing of babies and from 11 o'clock onwards is staffed so that mothers can leave babies and listen to the preaching and receive prayer, in the knowledge that their children are safely taken care of. Toddlers from 18 months to 4 years are cared for in the Toddler creche which is open from 11 am.
Children's worship
Proverbs 22: 6 'Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.'
Our vision is to teach these children how and why we worship and praise God. We want them to see that they can meet God in times of praise and worship just like the adults do, no matter how small they are. We want to create a safe environment for them to experiment, to pray out loud, to dance, to sing, to soak, to prophesy and minister to each other.
Our children's worship meetings run on the last Sunday of each month from10.15 to 11.00 for all children - toddlers up to 11 years.
