Children : Sunday Club

Sunday Club Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

At our Sunday gatherings we have a creche for under 3s and clubs for children in school years 1-8.

Créche

Adedicated team of helpers look after the créche during Sunday morning services, in a room designed specifically for the under-fours. The ages of children in the créche range from 0 to 3 years.

The créche offers:

• Soft play facilities; play climbing frame; kitchen and cottage.
• Small tables and chairs for drawing and creating.
• A large storeroom full of toys.
• A baby change area and toilet.

There are also flourishing Parent and Toddler groups which meet every weekday morning during term time.

Scramblers, Climbers, Seekers and Explorers

• Scramblers : Playgroup through to Year R
• Climbers : school years 1 -2
• Seekers : For school years 3-4
• Explorers : For school years 5-6
  

We meet together in the main hall and pre-school rooms each week on Sunday mornings, except when there are Family Services. Come and join us to learn about God, have fun and games and to tell us your news.

Pathfinders

This group for Years 7-8 forms the link between the younger children of Sunday Club and the teenagers of Holy Smoke.

The group meets during the Sunday morning church service (except when there is a Family Service) for basic Christian teaching through fun activities, games, quizzes, discussions and simple Bible studies.

Other activities:

During the year, we are involved with some special events organised by the diocese for churches with Pathfinder groups.

A St Andrew's Church Pathfinder weekend camp has been held in the New Forest for the past three summers.

Every summer holiday, Pathfinder members can also join one of the National Pathfinder Venture holidays.
