Sunday School
Every Sunday during the teaching time of our Sunday morning
service (DCF:AM)
(except during summer holidays)
There is a crèche
room available every Sunday with a variety of toys for children
up to 3 years old. Parents may take their children to the crèche room while the message is given in church but the
facilities can be used during any part of the service should
they become restless.
Sunday School takes place during the message time in the main
church hall. It is for children from 3 years up to 11 years. There are
four separate Sunday
School classes:
Class 1:
For children from 3 years until they begin school- led by
Shirley Smith. They have bible stories and simple craft
activities to illustrate the story. While all classes are
important, this is a vital introduction to god’s word
Class 2:
Led by Jill Holman, this class is for children in school
years- reception/year 1/year 2. The children have age
related bible stories with craft work whilst having
discussions on the stories relating them to everyday life.
Class 3:
Led by Jo Gunne for children in school years 3 and 4. New
and maybe unfamiliar bible stories are introduced to broaden
the Childrens knowledge of the bible using worksheets/craft
at times as a visual aid to the teaching.
Class 4:
This class is for children in school years 5 and 6 and is
led by Maureen Forder. The children are given an overview of
each book of the bible and god’s plan (including the history
and geography) whilst looking at various topics including
prayer, Israel and the Jews, the law, Jesus’ ministry,
the church today. They are given a foundational
understanding of the reasons for being a Christian and are
encouraged to think for themselves.
On the last Sunday of each month the children join together
for their ‘worship time’. Whilst there is quite a range of
ages, from 3 to 11 it is a good introduction to church where
all ages mix together and worship god together. The older
ones are encouraged to help the little ones in singing songs
– songs well known to them but also new songs are
introduced. The leaders help the children to understand the
words they are singing and to hopefully develop a love of
praising god. The songs and music are led by Katie Clague –
a member of the worship group.
