Sunday Discoverers
Every Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. till 10:45 a.m., for ages from 3 up to 11 (school year 6), children meet together (with their leaders) to sing action songs, learn some bible stories, do activity leaflets and enjoy quizzes with games.
Those who arrive early can join in with 10 - 15 minutes of singing (while registration takes place). We then split into separate nursery / infant / junior groups for our bible stories, followed by time for activity leaflets (which are "take home" so that parents can read them to find out what we have been learning about) or craft activities (nursery and infants). In the junior group, we finish up with a quiz time (sometimes with prizes). Juniors can also earn points each week and these can be "spent" in a prize shop at Christmas, just after Easter and late summer.
The infants and nursery-age children receive a small prize every 4 weeks for attendance, while juniors who come for 24 weeks are given their own bible.
Every four months or so, we move our meeting to 11:00 a.m. and join with the church at a special Family Service - times when parents and family are very welcome. These take place at Christmas (with carols), Harvest (late summer) and Prize-giving (just after Easter).
