The short answer is EVERYTHING. Children are always welcome at St James’s so don’t let our formal exterior put you off! If you want to come and bring your little ones and are worried about disruption and noise, well don’t be – our sound system is more than a match fore that and we are just pleased to have you here worshipping with us!
Little people sometimes need something of their own so that they can engage in worship and discipleship (learning) alongside their older siblings and adults – and for that we have Sunday school. Don’t let the name put you off… it’s nothing like the school I remember!
Through games and activities the younger members of our congregation can explore their faith and follow the cycle of seasons and festivals in our church year. We hope that they will begin to know the stories and the prayers for themselves, and also be exposed to some of those teachings about how to be good and responsible people in the world we live.
Our Sunday School (4th Sunday of each month) runs alongside our other special events and Messy Mass (2nd Thursday of each month) to provide lots of opportunities to bring the little ones to Church and get them involved in games and crafts… and not have to worry about them!
Parent’s are welcome to accompany their children, but they can send those 7 and over through unsupervised and they’ll be looked after for the service.
We can’t wait to see you here with us!
