If you come with children to one of our services, we have designed some activities which we hope will encourage them to engage in our worship together. For children aged 3-7, there is an activity bag available. For children aged 7-11 there is an activity folder as well as a 'ROOTS' sheet for them to complete. For 0-3 year olds, there is a special red activity bag for them and you may find our ‘Activity areas’ helpful during the service where there are books and other resources. All the Activity bags, Activity folders and ROOTS sheets can be found at the back of the church.
Services particularly suitable for children and young people are:
All Age Worship
On the first Sunday of the month at Stalham, all age worship is a shortened informal service. Our music group provide the music, and would welcome new members. We sing lively songs and there is normally some kind of interactive talk (non-threatening!). At St Michael's Church in Sutton the service on the first Sunday of the month also has an all-age feel.
Outside of church services, the activities we offer are:
Saturday Specials
We hold Saturday activity mornings every so often, based on different times of the Christian year, for children aged up to 12. Children under 7 need to be accompanied by an adult.
St Michael's Tots
St. Michael’s Tots, for pre-school children, meets at about 10am on the second Thursday in the month at Sutton Church. The children are helped to think about particular themes by singing songs and hearing stories. It is attended by the children of Sutton pre-school, but other children are very welcome too.
Please be assured that, in line with Diocesan guidelines, all the people running children’s activities have been DBS checked.
