The vision for the Children’s work across the benefice is for our families to know the stories of Jesus. For these Bible stories to help them grow in the knowledge and love of God.
We would love to meet you. Holly Stevens, our Children schools and families worker leads our children’s and families activities across the Benefice.
What’s on for families?
Messy Church
Every month we have Messy Church. This is a great time learning a new bible story, making crafts, playing games and singing songs all about it!
We usually meet on the first Saturday of the month in Hatch Beauchamp Hall at 3:30- 5. We have lots of fun activities to do together and to finish we have a yummy afternoon tea of cakes and sandwiches. It is free to attend, but email Holly to book in.
Hubbub
Hubbub is our baby and toddler group that happens monthly at Hatch Beauchamp school. If you have a baby or preschooler, we’d love for you to join us with playing, crafting and chatting. This is term time on the Third Thursday of the month.
Summer Holiday Club
Every Summer we run a 2-day free holiday club for school aged children.
We have crafts, games, stories and much more. Our theme this year is High Five Fest!
On 28th and 29th July 2025!!
What else are we doing?
Open the Book
Every week Holly takes a team of volunteers into our 3 church schools to lead Open the Book collective worship. Here we act out Bible stories written by the Bible Society and learn how these stories can teach us things. The children often comment that this is their favourite worship of the week.
Collective worship
Holly leads fortnightly collective worship in all 3 of our church schools. The worship is about the Christian values that the schools are learning about each half term. They involve acting out stories, singing, prayer, challenges, bible stories, important religious festivals and more.
