Our Children's and Young People's work is small, but we want it to grow. Children are a valued part of our church, and can teach us a lot about faith in God.
The main groups are:
Every Sunday (except Family Service on the first Sunday in the month) at 10.00 a.m. in the Church Hall. There is a rota of helpers from the congregation to take care of your children during the first part of the Parish Communion service, and they join us in church at the Peace for the remainder of the service. Children come forward with their parents and receive a blessing at the communion rail.

Meets every Sunday (except the first Sunday in the month) during school terms at 10.00 o'clock in the Church Hall. Children are welcome from age 3. We do not have an upper age limit, and young people leave us to attend the main church service when they feel ready. We do encourage teenagers who stay with us to help with teaching some of the younger children and we run a special programme to prepare them for this.

For 10-14 year olds. Hopes to provide some fun and fellowship for the young people in the church, and to reach out to those who have only a peripheral connection with the church. Some come with friends, others through some other kind of connection. Usually meets alternate Saturday evenings, and also arranges shared events and activities with the Marston United Reformed Church youth group.

For 14-18 year olds. This group meets on the 2nd Sunday of each month, during the 10am service. This is a chance to engage in the big questions about life and God. In the past we have looked at 'Science and Faith', 'What will you be doing when you die?', 'What the Bible says about the Simpsons'.
Dates for 2007 - July 8th, Sept 9th, Oct 14th, Nov 11th, Dec 9th.
