 Sunday School Update

Since the horrible times of Covid Our Sunday School has gone on from strength to strength mainly

because of the efforts of our dedicated volunteers with numbers of children attending increasing rapidly so :-

HELP! We are looking for even more volunteers to be a part of and help run our thriving Sunday school. We work off a rota system, which is flexible. Our Sunday school is an all- inclusive activity group for children taking place during the Sunday service. We welcome children from pre-school age through to teens. Our varied range of indoor and outdoor activities relate to Christian values.

Please contact Caroline Power for further information (07850 047235). Sunday School is on Summer break now, returning on Sunday 11th September

 

About Sunday school’s aim is to teach children Christian values in a fun and informal way. Make new friends and be at the heart of the church community.

 

Times 10.30 a.m. until after communion, the Sunday school teachers take the children up for a blessing then the children go back to their parents/carers until the end of service.

 

Where – In church the younger children are in a room at the back of church and the older children are in a room adjacent to the, alter.

CurriculumSunday school follows the twelve values to be, taught in schools and Sunday schools recommended by the Manchester Diocese. We relate these values to bible stories, prayers, songs and crafts and offer a very varied and innovative curriculum (a copy of values attached).
