Children & Youth

The Abbey welcomes children and young people of all ages. It is always a delight to see them. The 9.15am Parish Communion includes Sunday Groups as follows.

Creche Ages 0-2
Sparklers Age 3 - Reception
Reception All Stars Year 1 - Year 6
Trailblazers Year 7 - Year 10
DMC Age 15+

Group study materials use a variety of learning styles including Godly Play and a variety of craft activities. We all begin in the service together at 9.15am, with children sitting with their parents. After 15 minutes the children make their way to their groups (parents can come too, if children would like them to!) The children rejoin the service in time for Communion or Blessing with their parents. Towards the end of the service, they are sometimes invited to the front of the Abbey to show us something they have produced together; or to explain what they have been discussing.
