Children and Young People

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 as well as 'LOOK' sheets which they can complete. 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, ROOTS and LOOK sheets can be found at the back of the church.  

Outside of church services, the activities we offer are:

Bizzy Bees
Bizzy Bees is a new Baby and Toddler group, meeting on Monday mornings between 8:45am and 11:00am in St Mary's Church room, Stalham. Join us for a fun session which includes coffee/tea/juice and a snack. The session will finish with a song time. Cost per session is £1 per family. Contact Peter for more information: 01692 581944

Saturday Specials
We hold Saturday activity mornings every so often, based on different times of the Christian year, for children aged 6 to 12.  Children under 6 are also welcome, accompanied by an adult.
The activity mornings are from 10am to 12pm, held in the Church Room at Stalham, and normally include lots of craft activities based around the theme.  The morning finishes with a short and lively service in the church.

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.
