Sunday School

There is no formal Sunday School as such, more Children’s and Youth Work:

We are really pleased to be offering various youth groups for our children and youth from school year 5 through to year 12. The groups meet 2 or 3 times a month in age related groups at various venues. Here the children have the opportunity to talk more about their faith and discuss relevant issues in a safe, secure and non judgmental environment. Once a month we have a purely social event which, might include anything from watching a film to going on a Safari Supper!!

For more information about dates, times and venues please contact Becky Gammon on beckygammon@btinternet.com

Sunday Cafe – Normally 2nd Sunday of the month (Not August though, due to summer holidays!)

We meet together from 10.15 am in the Parish Hall for tea, coffee, cakes and croissants. This is followed by an informal time together for the adults which includes, worship, prayer and some time and space to think, chat and share together. In the meantime the children are having plenty of fun and games in the main hall – which also includes a main bible themed story with related activities. A relaxed and enjoyable gathering to which everyone, however young or old are truly welcome – there is something for everyone!

All Ages Service – Normally 4th Sunday of the month.

An opportunity for all the Church family to gather together for a service in church at 9.30am that follows a familiar format each month and is a service which is accessible for everyone. There are even bacon butties!

Pop up to church for a coffee and chat at 9.15am, followed by a short time together to introduce our babies and toddlers to some of the favourite bible stories, followed by a craft activity, singing and prayer. A great opportunity to familiarise the children with church – both the building and the message! Everyone is welcome to join us – even if you don’t have little ones- the extra pairs of hands are always appreciated!

Bible and Biscuit Club

February 26th, 2020

This Spring term we have been looking at the ‘I am’ statements that Jesus said about himself and asking what exactly we think he was meaning by them. For example, when he said, ‘I am the way’, did he mean there was only one way, what if you left the path could you return to it? When Jesus said, ‘I am the bread of life’, some of the children suggested that he was the main spiritual food that would fill you up. We had some interesting discussions, followed by making our own ‘bread’ in the shape of pancakes, being February […]

Churchmouse – December

December 1st, 2017

Dear Friends Season’s Greetings, Wow! Wasn’t the light party amazing? Rachael did a great job with the food – I enjoyed nibbling up the crumbs from the hotdogs. Apart from harvest of course, I think that Christmas is my favourite time of year. The Church is always so beautifully decorated with lights and the nativity. I am especially looking forward the Christmas tree festival because, when nobody is watching, us mice like to scurry up the trunks and play tag in the trees. The trees looking so lovely – I hope you are displaying one for us to enjoy. Bye […]

Churchmouse – November

November 1st, 2017

Dear friends First of all, we were very sad to see Rev Cate go last month. She has been very kind letting us sleep in the church and we will miss her very much! She has made us feel very welcome. However, we really enjoyed the first new All Ages service. It was lovely to see so many children and families in church enjoying such brilliant worship…..and eating bacon rolls of course! Us mice enjoyed the crumbs! Word is out amongst the mice that there is a Light Party happening in the Parish Hall this month on November 2nd. Hopefully […]

Churchmouse – October

October 2nd, 2017

Dear Friends, What funny weather we have been having, Parchina and I are a bit fed up getting so wet when we go out to play in the fields, the heavy rain really hurts our backs if we get caught out in it. We have managed to get out and play sometimes with our fieldmice friends and swing on the ears of wheat, even nibbling a few, we hope no one noticed. We are pleased to have the children back, school are now coming to church twice a week, which is great as we love to hear them singing, there […]

Churchmouse – September

August 31st, 2017

Hello friends, In our last letter we said that we mice would be looking after the church while you were all away. Well we decided to hold pour own services when it was quiet, you can see us sitting in the pews. It was great fun, Granma and Dad lead the service, Mum did a lovely Bible reading from the Mice Bible, did you know we have one? It was telling us about how Jesus told his disciples off because they wouldn’t let the children come near him. Grandpa mouse sang a solo, not too sure what he sang, it […]

A Note Via Mouse Media Messenger

July 29th, 2017

 Hi P&P I look forward to your monthly mouse experiences with anticipation. You obviously enjoyed your visit to the seaside. Did you go to Mousehole (pronounced Mous’l by your Cornish cousins)? If not, perhaps next time. It is a lovely coastal village. I think you deserve a special treat, so on the first Sunday in August, you will find morsels in a container on the church porch seat – a selection of the finest cheese and cake crumbs for your delectation. Regards Annoni Mouse

Churchmouse – August

July 29th, 2017

Hello friends, can you see what we mice are up to? Well Mum and Dad thought it would be a good idea if we learned a musical instrument. You see we enjoy the music in church so much they thought it was about time we joined in. So they managed to find a French horn and a saxophone small enough for us to play. Well it’s been great fun; we haven’t got a teacher yet so we have been playing around on our own. Not too sure what we sound like but it has been terrific to make lots of […]

Churchmouse – July

July 3rd, 2017

Hello friends, how are you? Do you like the photo of us on holiday? While you were away on half term we mice decided to have a trip to the seaside for our holiday too. We packed up our beach gear and travelled in our special mouse coach down to visit our cousins at the seaside. It took quite a while and Granma mouse didn’t feel very well when we got there, she doesn’t really like travelling. But when she got out of the coach she saw some icecream and do you know she immediately felt better! Well we had […]
