Children and Young People
All
Saints provides Sunday morning activities for
babies, children and young people on Sundays during
term time, except for the first Sunday of the month
when we have our Worship for All service.
Creche
All babies and toddlers under 3 are very welcome at
any time – both frequently or just once. The
children are cared for by members of All Saints,
with toys suitable for their age

JC - Junior
Church
Well, if
you’re aged between the age of 3 and 11 years and
enjoy lots of fun and laughter then Junior Church
could be for you.
We meet at 10am in the Community Hall (which is
joined onto the church) and our purpose is to
support all children as they take their very first
steps learning about Jesus in a fun, exciting and
safe environment.
We use a mixture of teaching, prayer, craft
activities, cooking and fun worship songs each time
we meet.
Every session is based on a theme - for example, the
Good Shepherd, Feeding of the 5000, and Doubting
Thomas. We all start together for a welcome, song
and prayers then we split into groups appropriate to
the children’s own age for activities.
At the end of each session the groups come together
to share what we have learned before going into
Church for the final part of the service together
with a Blessing, if this is what the child wishes.

Pathfinders
Any young person from age 11 – 14 is more than
welcome to come and have fun.
We meet in the Webber Hall (next to the Church) for
an opportunity to talk about the challenges of
becoming a young today, using Bible-based
discussions and other activities.
A few times a year we have a film night or go
bowling and get away a couple of times a year for a
long weekend of ‘indoors camping’ to just chill and
have a fun time together.

Substance
Substance is for teenagers between 14 and 18. Our
aim is to allow you to meet in relaxed surroundings,
allowing you to express and develop your feelings
and, maybe a developing faith.
We have committed members who take a full part in
sessions and church life. We meet 3 Sunday mornings
per month and hope the group members want
to come along to the Morning Praise and Worship for
All services each month.
We run socials to Charrington Bowl for an afternoon
of fun and fellowship and have a couple of weekends
away to chill, play mad games, have fellowship
together and generally have fun.
Some
children and young people prefer to come to church without
wanting to belong to a group. This isn't a problem.

OTHER YOUTH
GROUPS
Seedlings
We’ve been running for over 20 years now,
welcoming all children under five with their Parents
and Carers.
We meet on alternate Wednesday mornings between
9.30am and 11.00am in the Webber Hall (at the back
of the church meadow) and charge just 50p per child
per session. There’s no membership – just come
along.
Parents and Carers have a chance to chat over a cup
of tea or coffee whilst the little ones have the
chance to play with a selection of toys and enjoy
each other’s company. For further information

Quench
Quench offers time together for 11 to 18 year olds
and meets on the fourth Sunday of the month between
7 & 9.30 pm in the Community Hall.
The evening is aimed to enable young people to
explore their Christian faith in a fun and relaxed
atmosphere. On arrival there is a time for chat, a
game on the Wii and a visit to the tuck shop. This
is followed by a time of worship, teaching and
praise led by our own youth band, with a final
period of chat with friends before leaving.
All the
leaders and helpers within our Children and Youthwork have a
current
CRB
(Criminal Records Bureau) check. If you
