Our Young People

St Margaret’s is a family orientated church welcoming children and young people, especially those with additional needs, to join our small group.

3-10 year olds
Tygre Club     Each Sunday morning (except the first), at the 9.30 am service,  our children leave the service to go across to The Sanctuary during the first hymn.  There they enjoy singing, games, Bible stories and talks with craft activities in appropriate age groups. There is also a crèche and any younger visitors are very welcome.   The children then rejoin the main service in time for Holy Communion.

At Christmas time  there are  services for children  to join in and enjoy such as the Christingle and Crib services.

Crafternoons 3-13 year olds
Each term we host a Crafternoon – one for Christmas, one for Easter and one for summer, usually during the summer holidays. These are opportunities to enjoy fun activities  and usually involve piñatas as well as other things.
 

Youth Led Services – all ages

Once a term all our young people run a service together where they perform skits, lead the prayers and readings and we have a worship band.
G3 – 10 – 15 year olds Our older kids get together once a term for a social evening at The Sanctuary, with pizza and either a film or  games. This gives them a chance to hang out together with other Christians and relax.  Occasionally we will discuss the film or answer questions afterwards.  It’s very informal but encouraging.  Recent films have included: Risen, The Blind Side and The 6th Sense.

Holy Trinity has a children’s play area at the back of the church near the font.

At Christmas there is a Christmas Jumper service, Christmas Tree Festival and Crib Service on Christmas Eve in which the children participate in all the actions.
