Children & Youth

Sunday School

Sunday School is offered every Sunday during the 09.30am service (term-time and holidays).

The children and youth gather and process into church at the start of the eucharist, where they are welcomed with a blessing. They then move to the hall for their own program and return later for Holy Communion.

Recently we implemented Godly Play (more information about Godly Play is available here). It is a friendly and engaging method of teaching the traditions and sacred stories of our faith and encourages personal reflection without pressure to participate. It is appropriate for all ages and after each week’s story is presented, the younger children do their quiet work and older children can choose to do their own quiet work or enjoy for further discussion together.

Children also are actively involved in the all-age services and participate in special events such as our annual Nativity Play.
