Midweek and Sunday Morning Youth and Children’s activities
Sunday mornings include activities for children of all ages. During the month there are a number of activities for Children and Young people during the week too!
Midweek Activities
Outreach and Meeting up
Our heart is to give families as much chance to grow together as we are able to do. We enjoy running events where the whole family can engage with one another. As a church we offer a number of activities to do this.
These events are currently not running until the Government restriction are lifted and we will be able to meet in full once again. Please keep an eye on this page and see our Facebook page for updates.
Messy Church
This is a time of fun, laughter, craft and lively bible story, ending with a meal together provided for by the church. There is no charge for this event so please invite anyone you would like to and come and join us. This is usually held the first Thursday of each month in school term times. (There will be No messy church in August and will be the 2nd Thursday in December.) Our Venue is to be confirmed. For more information please contact nick@lccstor.org.
Storrington Sparks
This is a new event that we are very excited to begin this coming year when the restrictions are lifted. We will be running a toddler group for the local Community where everyone and their babies/toddlers will be able to attend. There will be a variety of toys for the children to play with in a large hall area. This will be a time where parents/carers can interact with one another and their children in a fun safe environment. Refreshments will be provided for adults and children during the session. In addition to this, there will be a bible story, craft and song time run over the session where the children can take part. There will be a £1 charge per child for entry to this event. Our Venue to be confirmed. If you would like more information please contact nick@lccstor.org.
Sparks (Early years, Children up to nursery age)
We have a crèche, called Sparks, which runs each Sunday morning. This is a place where our youngest children are able to attend with lots of fun toys, a craft, fun songs and a basic bible story. Our first Sunday Meeting will be on 18th April from 10am till 11am. This may change based on government announcements.
Our aim is to have our children and youth in the service with us to worship together for a short time each week and then move out at 10:30am to their own groups which are focused on their age group needs. This is currently not a option based on the Government guidelines for Covid and we will keep everyone informed when we are able to re-introduce this into the church services.
Fireworks (Children in school years reception to year 5)
Children and Young People are an important part of our Church life and each Sunday they have their own groups to encourage faith and growth in the ways of God.
For our children’s work, called Fireworks, we are currently sending Kids Church packs that we will be sending out to all of our children in KS1 and KS2 each week. We are also currently running an online zoom session Sundays at 3pm.
This will be aimed for KS2 children but open to all ages who would like to join. We will be playing some games and looking at the story from our packs. The session will last half a hour. We will be sending the link out to all parents over email, so please keep your eyes open for that. We hope to see you there! If you would like to join us on our online session please feel free to contact Nick on the email address below.
With the current COVID restrictions, we have and will be meeting online via zoom for our kids meetings. However we plan to begin to meet face to face in line with the government’s recovery plan; this means that our first Sunday Meeting will be on 18th April from 10am till 11am. This may change based on government announcements.
Our aim is to have our children and youth in the service with us to worship together for a short time each week and then move out at 10:30am to their own groups which are focused on their age group needs. This is currently not a option based on the Government guidelines for Covid and we will keep everyone informed when we are able to re-introduce this back into the church services.
If you have not received a pack or if you have any questions please contact Nick at nick@lccstor.org
In addition to this, we hope to begin an after school Kids club for KS2 children from the year groups Year 3 to Year 5 running from 3:30pm till 5:00pm from September. Our aim is to have fun activities with crafts, games, lively bible stories and much more each week in term times. More information will follow with exact dates and more information.
Wildfires (Youth Group – runs every Friday evening and Sunday Morning)
Our youth are a key element of our Church life and each Friday Evening and Sunday they have their own groups to encourage faith and growth in the ways of God.
Our Youth Group called Wildfires happens every Friday Evening and Sunday Morning.
With the current COVID restrictions, we have and will be meeting online on zoom for our youth meetings. This will be every Friday evening from 7:30pm till 9:00pm.
We will currently not meet on a Sunday morning, however we plan to begin to do so in line with the government’s recovery plan. This means that our first Friday Night youth meeting will be on 16th April from 7:30pm till 9:00pm and our first Youth Sunday Meeting 18th April from 10am till 11am. This may change based on government announcements — we will keep you posted!
Our hope is that we would engage with the youth through fun and games and biblical topics which will be discussed. We aim for this to encourage them to ask questions in the family environment based on the bible stories and topics we go through.
