We recognize that babies and young children need constant attention and 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 Service.

We meet for an hour each first Sunday of the month at 10.00 am and it is going very well with new families joining us every month. Our Minister is always there to greet us with a warm friendly smile.

In November 2008, the Early Birds team got together, to try bringing more children to our Sunday services. And with renewed energy and enthusiasm, fresh ideas (and children) came our way!
We try to keep the story 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 ever month” commented Michelle a mother of three great boys, and “we are still talking about it during the day” says Gill a mother of sweet little Ben and Emily.

We would 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 – the sweet simple stories in the bible such as Noah, Daniel and the lions, Moses, Jonah and the whale and of Jesus - to name but a few – teach our children things that school does not!

It teaches them about TRUST, LOVE, FAITH, FORGIVENESS, KINDNESS, and PATIENCE. And with these values our children will find guidance, an inner strength and confidence.

Come and see !

Many thanks to the many helpers and attendees who keep us all amused each month and make it such an enjoyable time.
