Children and Youth Breakfast Club Breakfast Club for children aged 0 to 11 meets at 10am on Sundays in the Church Rooms (above the doctors’ surgery). Come and join us for breakfast, Bible stories, songs, fun activities, crafts and chat. Click here for this term’s programme of meetings and events, or pick up a flyer from church. All-Age Services On the first Sunday of the month there is an All-Age service in church (and no Breakfast Club). There is a crèche area in church if you need to use it (the Lady Chapel); it’s sound-proofed and has a speaker so you can listen to the service while the children play. Sometimes this room has informal supervision, but children remain their parents’ responsibility at all times. Oasis (0-5yrs) and Oasis Plus (5-11yrs) Informal worship and teaching for children. Meets in church on (usually) the first Monday of the month at 2:30 or 3:30. Tel Jan for info: 01454 415280. Oasis Extra is a group for 11-to-14-year-olds wanting to find out more about Jesus and being a Christian today. Activities, guest speakers, outings… Meets on Sundays in the Church Rooms, 4-5:30pm. It is also a preparation for Confirmation (for those interested). Contact Philip Rowe or Jan Cooper for more information.	News and updates….

A new Parenting Course: ‘21st Century Parent’, ideal for parents and carers of teens (or soon-to-be-teens). It’s an 8-week course, based round a DVD presentation (with Rob Parsons) followed by an informal discussion. Contact Alison Rowe for details of the next course (01454 613223 or amrowe@hotmail.co.uk). We regularly run the popular ‘Parentalk’ parent-craft course, which is based around videos and informal discussion, and aims to help parents make the most of every stage of their child's growing up. Come and share your experiences, learn from each other and discover some principles for parenthood. Bring your babies and pre-school children along too!
