Sunday Service 10am. Each week St Pauls Church will be streaming their Sunday service live via Youtube.
Click Here for the live stream or to take a look at past services.
Sunday Club is a fun club for children at St Paul’s and it’s led by our carefully selected DBS checked volunteers. During the 10.00 am service at St. Paul’s we run groups for children aged 0 to 12 (except during our monthly All-Age Service!). Come along for fun looking at bible stories, learning about God, playing games, making craft and singing.
The Groups:
We have a supervised crèche for pre-school children aged 0-4 in ‘The Ark’, our Noah’s Ark themed crèche room at the side of the Church building. The children get to play with toys, learn Bible stories and make craft.
The school age children meet in different groups in the Church Hall for age-appropriate activities (Bible teaching, craft, games etc).
Sunday Club takes place during the 10.00 am morning service on the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th Sunday in the month. New children are always welcome to come along and join in the fun.
On the third Sunday of the month we have a child friendly All-Age service.
