Families and Youth
Jesus was very clear about the place of children in his world - he put them at the centre. We want to do what we can to put children at the centre of church life as well. There is a family service in at least one of the churches every week. These services, which sometimes include Communion, and sometimes don't, are designed to be interesting and engaging for all ages - from the youngest to the oldest.And children are welcome at all our services, even if they aren't billed as Family Worship! We love to hear children's voices along with every other sound in our churches.
