Toddlers
Together |
|
|
|
|

We meet every
Wednesday 10am-12noon during term-time. All children under 5 years, parents and
carers are welcome.
Toddlers Together is run by volunteers and therefore we ask adults to be responsible for
their own children at all times. (Please don't bring your children along if they are unwell).
The sessions are informal with a large variety of toys and equipment.
We meet in the Main Hall, but in the warmer Summer months we often spill out onto the large grassed area at the rear of the site.
We break for drinks and biscuits, for which we charge a nominal fee of £1 per family.
Toddlers Together is run by members of the church who all have a personal faith
in Jesus Christ.
We hope you enjoy your time with us.

What is God like? How can I know He's there? What might it mean to follow Jesus?

Whether you've never been to church before or have been going to church for years,
Christianity Explored provides an opportunity to look more closely at these issues.
Courses last for seven weeks and are designed to be relaxed, informative and helpful.
Each week there is a presentation on one key element of the Christian message,
