KID’S PRAISE: This is a friendly, fun service for parents and toddlers at 2pm in the Abbey, usually on the second Thursday of the month. It lasts approximately 45 minutes and is suitable for pre-school children and their carers. Very informal and completely child centered, we have a song time, story time and a craft session to make something to take home as a reminder of the theme. Afterwards we have a social time together over refreshments and coffee.

This year we will be following the theme ‘People of the Bible’. We will also be celebrating Easter and finishing the year with a Christmas celebration.

8th January – Joshua. 12th February – Jonathan. 12th March – Moses.
2nd April – Easter Celebration. 14th May – Esther. 11th June – Jonah.
16th July – Joash. 10th September – Joseph. 8th October – Lydia.
12th November – Eli. 10th December – Christmas Celebration.
