Children and Families

We have monthly Messy Church at St John’s Church Hall at 4pm on the third Sunday of each month. During the pandemic we have moved online and use the service Zoom. Each session is themed around the church year with stories, music, crafts and activities which is suitable for the whole family to enjoy. We would love you to join us! You’ll need an invitation via email from Canon Sandra. Just email her at sandrabenham@btinternet.com.
