Children are never too young to come to church, and we want you to know that at St Mary's you and your children are very welcome.  On Sundays during term-time we run a Sunday School or, if you prefer, you can bring your children with you into church.

Worshipping God is an important way in which people learn what it means to be Christian.  Children are no exception: they learn worship by worshipping with you.  It is important that they realise that the church is a special place, not just another playgroup.  You can teach them that there are times to stand and sing, but also times to be still and quiet - they love to imitate and conform.

Bringing children to church may not always be easy, but it is rewarding, and an essential part of their spiritual growth. It's also a two-way process.
