Junior Church

Our Junior Church meets on Sunday mornings when there is a Eucharist Service. which takes place at 10.30am. On Sundays when the service is not a Eucharist but a Service of the Word, the service tends to be All Age and so children are included in the teaching. Both types of service exist to give the younger members of our congregation an opportunity to explore the Bible readings from the service in a way that is more accessible to them. During their time together in Junior Church, the children take part in activities, as well as doing arts and crafts linked to the readings of the day. 

Junior Church is for children aged 0-12 years. They meet in the vestry at the start of the service. For more information, please contact:
  • Christine Ritson 01254 233839

Praise and Play

Praise and Play takes the form of a short worship service aimed at young children and their parents. It provides a worship service for those who, for one reason or another, may not be able to attend the Sunday service at St Augustine's, and also allows our younger members to grow in fellowship with one another and learn more about God and what being a Christian means for their life. 

Praise and Play happens every Wednesday between 6:30-8:00 pm. .For more information, please contact:
