Children’s update
 
Children’s church
As we get used to meeting together again and look to run all of our children’s Sunday morning activities we need to expand our pool of volunteers. Could this be you? A commitment to help even just once a month would be much appreciated.  The children are great fun to be around and this is such an exciting ministry to be a part of.
 
Toddler Group
Our new Toddler group has started and is on Mondays, 9.30am to 10.30am, in the Church Centre. It is for children starting to walk – rising 1s – up until age 3. Places are limited and admission will be by appointment. Please book by phoning the office from 9am on Wednesday to join in the session on the following Monday. The cost will be £1.50 per family. Places will need to be booked on a weekly basis. Further information will be sent out on sign-up.
 
Creche update
We are delighted to say that crèche is now available. You do need to book a ticket for those attending which can be done via our normal service booking link.
It has a slightly different look and feel as we as we adapt to the Covid restrictions, however we know that those of you with young children value it. 
As we continue to enjoy meeting in-person on Sundays and mid-week on we really need more helpers especially on Sunday morning. If you are at all interested in helping please do speak to Jess. 
 

Summer update
Our Summer activities mornings – Summer Blast! – are in the planning stage. Sign up to help and save the date to help at Summer Blast!  We will be running three activity mornings on the 10th, 17th and 24th August for 5-11 year olds and 3rd August for under 5s. If you are interested in helping at one or all of these then please do get in touch with Jess.  Further details on how to book children in will come in due course but currently we need the team to enable this to happen. I promise it will be lots of fun- don’t miss out!  Any questions get in touch.
Any and all offers of help please contact  Jess  children@christchurchware.co.uk 07776 596 561
