Sometimes our friend Simon |
You are all welcome to enjoy the fun. This month we will be hearing the story of the Good Shepherd who when he found a missing sheep went out into the countryside to search for him and did not come back until he found him. Jesus's message to us that everyone of us counts in his heart.
Mums and Dads can stay with their children and join in or go downstairs to the grown-up service at 10.30 am.
Tea, and Susan's home made biscuits and cake are part of the enjoyment of these special occasions.

“It is a friendly Christian community of people who show love and understanding of each others needs.”
“For the first time in my life I have a real sense of belonging.”

You know how babies and young children need constant attention. Well, we recognise that our normal Sunday service can be a trying time for both parents and youngsters. So, we cater for our young families on a more informal basis with our new style Early Bird Children's Service.
We meet for an hour each first Sunday of the month at 10.00 am. We have been going for a year or two now and are delighted that new families are joining us every month. Our Minister Martin Ambler is always there to greet us with a warm friendly smile.
When the Early Birds team first got together, our aim was to bring more children to our Sunday services. And with renewed energy and enthusiasm, fresh ideas (and children) came our way!
We try to keep our Bible stories aimed at the little ones. But by bringing the tales alive with simple colourful puppets and artwork, the older ones and grown-ups enjoy the stories too.
Our activities are becoming very creative and interesting and with guitars playing and lots of musical instruments banging and a jingling, the lounge is alive with enjoyment.
“It gets better every month” comments Michelle a mother of three great boys, and “we are still talking about it during the day” says Gill a mother of little Ben and Emily. See more pictures in the Early Birds Gallery.
We like our Early Bird meetings to be lots of fun, very interesting, enjoyable and have a feeling of “That was good!”
But apart from having a good time, we all learn from the simple stories in the Bible such as Noah, Daniel and the lions' den, Moses, Jonah and the whale and of course Jesus and his disciples. These and many more stories teach our children things that most schools just don't!
The Bible teaches us all about:

And with these values our children will find
guidance, inner strength and confidence.
