Midweek Activities

Outreach and Meeting up

Our heart is to give families as much chance to grow together as possible. 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.

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 by the church. There is no charge for this event so please invite anyone you would like to and come and join us. Messy Church is usually held the third Thursday of each month in school term times. (There will be no messy church in August and will be the 2nd Thursday in December.) Please contact nick@lccstor.org for further information.

Storrington Sparks

We run a baby and toddler group for the local community. There are a variety of toys for the children to play with in a large hall area. This is a time where parents/carers can interact with one another and their children in a fun, safe environment. Refreshments are provided for adults and children during the session. In addition to this, there is a bible story, craft and song for the children to join in. £1 charge per child for entry to this event which is held at the Chanctonbury Leisure Centre. 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.

We will have lots of games and activities where we aim to make it a fun relaxed atmosphere where everyone can come, bring friends and have a good time together.
