A creche & Sunday club is held in St Giles School.
We are running an all-age Sunday Club each Sunday at 10am except if there is an all-age family service in the church.
Choir girls robe and sit together in church but during the sermon they have their own teaching in the vestry.
Children who are not in the choir can be dropped off in the school hall from 9.50am. For them we offer a creche/pre-school group and a primary school-age group. To find out more ring Chris on 790467.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
This week is the third week of Lent.
Lent literally means 'spring'. It's concerned for a springtime of the Spirit.
Our Lenten season is provided to help us make the most of the forthcoming feast of Easter. It's a time of preparation and expectancy.
As we seek to come closer to Jesus in his dying and rising, we make our Easter celebration personal.
In Lent each of us who bear the name Christian are invited to die afresh to sin and to rise again to new life in the Spirit.
For Christians the source of renewal is ever familiar. We come again and again to the Cross and surrender ourselves with Jesus to the Father. We engage with the risen Jesus who grants us empowerment again and again.
Through our seeking of Jesus in scripture and sacrament, in prayer and in the fellowship of believers, more of the old Adam is put to death, more of the life of the Spirit bursts forth in our lives.
Lent is just one reminder among many that Christian renewal is anchored in Jesus who died in our place, to live in our place by His Spirit.
Lord Jesus, bless this coming week of Lent through a putting to death of something of our sinful nature as we seek renewal of our lives from your Holy Spirit. Amen.
