Children are an important part of our church family life and are always very welcome at all our services. Here are some of the groups that meet, especially for young people.
Messy Church
The next session will be on Sunday 4th March in the church hall from 4.00pm to 6.00pm for arts and crafts, fun, food and worship. This is something the whole family can enjoy together and ideal if Sunday mornings are difficult for you because of other commitments. Each session will have a theme and we will be sticking with the parables of Jesus.
Youth Club
We are very fortunate to have been awarded a grant by the Chelmsford Diocese Mission Opportunity fund to support the development of our work with children and young people. It will to towards the development of Messy Church, the schools work at Great Totham Primary School as well as our new Youth Group. We are aiming to get the new Youth Club up and running by February 2012. Initially it will be for children in school years 5 and 6.
Sunday School
Sunday School meets on Sunday mornings during the 10.30am service at St Bartholomew’s. There are toys available during the service and a crèche for younger children.
Edward Bear Club
Edward Bear Club meet every Monday at 10.15am in the church during school term time. This is a group for babies and children up to the age of five and their parents, grandparents or carers. Activities include play sessions, a short time to sing songs, listen to a story, say a prayer together and get creative with crafts, followed by refrehments in the church hall.
