Junior Church
Junior Church is a very lively section of our community, and we think it is a vital part of the church family. Without our young people where will we be in 10 or 20 years’ time? The young people have been taking a great interest in and helping with the refurbishment of our Rainbow Garden. They are outward looking, and over the years have contributed a good sum of money to the Francisco Rojas School in Peru. I and the other leaders – Bob Price and Linda Snell, regularly assisted by Shirley Beer and by others such as Sandra Williams and Jenny Elliott who help us out when we are short handed – are dedicated to teaching the young people the basics of our faith, its history and Christian values. We study stories from the old and new testaments, using games, puzzles, art and acting to get the messages across, helped by Scripture Union materials to bring the stories alive and provide ideas for each week of the year. Most of the young people love to perform and enjoy taking part in the Toy and Gift services at Christmas and our occasional bible-based musical services such as “Jonah” and “Swingin’ Sampson”. We think we have a lovely group of youngsters. If they are leading our church in 20 or 30 years time, it will be in safe but imaginative hands. Mary Mayers

After the first part of the morning service, the younger members of our family leave to meet for Junior Church in their various classes in our halls. They are very much part of the family and enjoy the occasions when they join other members of the congregation for special drama or music.
