For Children

Children are the heart and soul of our life as a church.

On Sundays at 11.00 outside the summer holidays we offer Godly Play storytelling and Singing With Miranda for children aged between 4 and 11, with a Creche space for accompanied babies and toddlers.

The general pattern is:

1st Sunday: All-together Worship 
2nd, 3rd and 5th Sundays: Godly Play
4th Sunday: Singing with Miranda

Children begin in church and return in time to join in Communion.



Godly Play teaches children the art of using religious language - parable, sacred story, silence and liturgical action - helping them become more fully aware of the mystery of God’s presence in their lives.

It takes place during the 11.00 service, on the second and fourth Sundays of the month, outside the holidays.

Children aged 4 to 12 are welcome to take part.

The children begin in church, go out for their story, and return in time for communion.

Jenny Kinsy, Eoin Phillips and Deepthi Lasrado are our storytellers. All adults involved have been vetted and trained in safeguarding.


Singing with Miranda is real singing and real fun!

It takes place during the 11.00 service on the third Sunday of the month, with the children joining the grown-ups in time for communion.

Once a month they have time and space to learn together, and now and again they sing in the church service.

Miranda Colchester is the singing coach and conductor. Everyone who works with children here has been vetted and receives safeguarding training.
