The end of the church school year is coming, but don’t let that stop you from enjoying our groups, some volunteer opportunities, and getting a chance to build your own bear before we wrap up!  We have been adding more badges to our bears in RE and in Youth Group.  We try to ensure that the children are learning about their faith home and look forward to coming back each week to enjoy food, fun and friends.  Our nursery is available each week for young children and infants; we provide a Religious Exploration class for children.
