Update On The Children's Work

We are currently recruiting new Volunteers for the Creche and ECH Stars – please see Jenny or Kam if you can help.
God is so good, and we have seen over the year how great God has been to us. We have been growing as a church and with such, come conundrums that we need to address. The children’s work especially has grown significantly and as we grow we are conscious of the need to regularly reassess, to ensure that we are keeping our precious children safe.
Parents remain responsible for their children at all times, but there is so much we can all do to help out.
We hope that the following guidelines will be helpful.

During the Service

Please encourage children to sit with their family/adult in the main church, to engage in worship, or use the resources in the Children’s Corner. We have books, toys, puzzles, colouring, activity books and a play tent with scatter cushions, as well as fresh water. Please help the children to stay out of the kitchen (the urns are boiling hot) and avoid walking in front of (or on!) the stage (lots of wires and electrical hazards).

EHC Stars – for children aged Primary School +

We are going to trial a new system from after Easter: please can parents bring their children upstairs when EHC Stars opens (usually opens between 11-11:15 am ish – we will indicate this during the Service).
We will then bring the children back down at the end – please collect them from the Children’s Corner before the Service ends.

Creche – all Pre-Primary children

We are starting a rota of creche helpers from Sunday 6th May, and creche will be open from approx. 11-11:15 am to the end of the service – we will signal this as above. At other times Pre-Primary children are welcome to play in the room but must be supervised by an adult and not left unattended.
We are aiming to go to Lighthouse this year, for a fun packed week of teaching, worship, friendship, and God. Please check out their website, book up and invite a friend!
A huge thank you to our ECH Stars workers, Kam, Leah, Elise, Sue, Rachel, Emmanuel and Jenny, who do a fabulous job!
Please continue to pray for them, for our new Creche helpers, and for all the children.
