Christ Church toddlers As a church we have a wonderful ministry called toddlers that caters for ' toddlers with their parents/carers and grandparents' that serves the community showing hospitality and sharing Jesus. As a church we are committed to this area of ministry and want to ensure that it continues to be resourced well. Therefore, due to resourcing we will be focusing on a Tuesday morning session only from the end of November. If you would like to volunteer to help with a Tuesday session, please do contact Louise via the office.  
We also wish to extend a huge thank you to all those who have volunteered in toddlers and those who continue to support on a Tuesday.
The final Monday Toddlers session will be held on Monday 17th November.
Tuesday Toddlers will continue as usual.
