Sundays

St Peter's has very active youth and children's groups on Sunday mornings and during the week. There's something for young people from birth to young adults, as you'll see below. All children and young people are welcome at our groups.

If you wish to keep your children with you during the service, we have a children's area with resources for children's worship, plus other activities. If babies or younger children become restless, please feel free to walk around with them or take them out for a short time. The church has plenty of room for pushchairs.

Young Church - children in school years Reception - Year 7, plus a crèche for 0 - 3 year olds

Young Church meets in church at the beginning of the service (10am), then (after the first hymn and a prayer) moves into Cornerstone for Bible stories, teaching and activities. Young Church ends with prayers and we rejoin the main service in time for communion.

Please contact Gill Knight or Pam Rogers via the Cornerstone Office for more details.

Tower Teens - school year 8+

Tower Teens is our Sunday morning youth group. They meet at 10:00 am in the Bell Tower - hence the name - and join the rest of the congregation in time for communion. Please contact Kevin Lovell or Jenny Dobson via the Cornerstone Office for more details.

NOTE: Young Church and Tower Teens do not meet on the second Sunday of every month when there is an All-age Service.

St Peter’s Young Church Prayer

Dear God,
Thank you for all the love in my life:
family, friends, pets, church and me!
Look after then always.
Teach me ways to show all the love I have with those less fortunate than me.
Help me to know and understand you better, especially in young church -  to learn about the things you’ve done and what they mean.
Give me confidence to take you with me everywhere I go, and to call you whenever I need you.

Amen


Everyone enjoys a 'sing-a-long' Toddler Group - birth to school age

Wednesday 9.30-11.00am in Cornerstone

This is a very informal group where parents/carers with young children can get together to meet new friends. It's a great place to chat, and maybe to share ideas on bringing up children.

The very young ones enjoy learning to play with others before starting nursery or play group. There is a craft activity each week and a story and singing to end the time together.

You are welcome to join us.

Our motto is "Seek, Serve and Follow Christ". Our aim is "To help girls to become followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, and through self-control, reverence and a sense of responsibility to find true enrichment of life."
