Parents and Carers come along with their child/ren for the chance to chat and play in a relaxed environment. Refreshments are available for the adult throughout the session, please feel free to help yourself.

Our Wednesday sessions follow this basic format:
10.00-11.00am Free play - Children learn and play under your supervision, the toys are out and usually there is a table of craft activities too.

11.00am Snack time for the children followed by story and singing time where we all gather to listen to a story and sing a few nursery rhymes and songs.

11.30 end of the Minster Minis main session

After Minster Minis you are very welcome to stay for lunch (e.g. Simple soup with bread and cheese, plus yoghurts and fruit) Some of the team take it in turns to share a ‘Thought for the Day’ and there’s the opportunity to chat to others and pray as we eat. It’s very informal and there’s food for the children plus the toys stay out so children can carry on playing if they finish before the adults! (We aim to cater for all dietary needs so do let us know if you have any.)

12.30 is tidy up time, if you’re able to help put a few toys in boxes that’s great but never worry if you need to dash off.

The 10am is our morning gathering where you can expect: a warm welcome, worship, a talk from the Bible and time to pray together with communion every two weeks (1st and 3rd Sunday). Expect each week to have a 1 hour gathering structure you’re familiar with.

Coffee and refreshments are served afterwards, around 11am.

There's also groups for Kids and Youth too. Kids Church Groups for primay aged children and a Youth Space in the gathering for Young People to hang out and engage in the gathering.

The 4pm is our informal afternoon gathering, where we have a time of worship (singing together), reading from the Bible and hearing it spoken about. Always time to pray together and wait on God’s Holy Spirit to move amongst us. Coffee and refreshments served from 3:30pm so come along beforehand.

There's also groups for Kids and Youth. Sunday Youth (school years 6-9) and Kids Church Together for the children.
