Sunday School
Sunday School has now started at the Rock and we hope that families will come and join this with us. We welcome all the children into the church from the youngest to the oldest and follow, generally, the same themes as the main service by playing games and doing craft activities to keep everyone involved. Lisa, Megan and Jess are all helping out so there are lots of “hands on deck” with the little ones, and we aim that the older children will take a leading role in the group and take charge of the activities and learning alike.
The children are encouraged to take from the games and stories what they wish to and above all meet with friends regularly in a safe and inclusive environment where we all have our thoughts and opinions.
If anyone would like to come along and help or has any ideas of how they can add to the fun, please let Lisa know or simply come along and join us!
