Children & Families
At St Barnabas Church, we warmly welcome children and their families with a variety of activities throughout the year for everyone to enjoy. Young Church is a key part of our community, offering a friendly and safe environment where parents, carers, and children of all ages can participate in engaging, age-appropriate activities. We also maintain strong connections with local families and work closely with St Barnabas Primary School to support the children in our community.
Activities
All Age Family Service - The first Sunday of every month at 10.30am: Join us for our All Age Service, where every generation comes together to worship and connect! Our service blends traditional hymns with contemporary worship songs, and includes interactive activities designed to engage everyone from young children to grandparents. With a sermon that speaks to all ages, families can share in the joy of worship and grow in faith as one community.
Sunday Kids’ Space - Once a month at 10:30 am in the Community Hub: Children aged 4-12 can enjoy a mix of creative crafts, singing, Bible stories, and fun games. It is a wonderful opportunity for your children to learn and grow in a safe environment while you take part in the service.
The next Sunday Kids’ Space will take place on 20th October 2024.Creche: We know little ones can get restless easily, so we have a special space to keep them occupied. Our Creche, located at the back of the church during Sunday service, is designed for under 3’s and their parents or carers. It features toys, colouring, a story corner, and nappy changing facilities, ensuring a comfortable and engaging environment for your child. Please note - adults must stay with their children in the creche.
Messy Church: A fun-filled afternoon event held on Sundays - check back for the next date! Messy Church is a great opportunity for families to enjoy games, crafts, storytelling, and singing together, with snacks provided for everyone. It is the perfect way to spend quality time together and make some creative memories.
In addition to our Sunday morning activities, children are also invited to special services at Christmas and Easter.
