Ivy Kidz

But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these..." (Luke 18:16 NIV)

Children are very welcome at all the Adult Services, with facilities for all-age involvement. There’s a lively IvyKidz session during Sunday morning worship – 10:30am that children can attend.

IvyKidz caters for children aged 3+, and comprises of fun activities and bible teaching that is age related. We currently run 3 groups; 3-5 years, 6-9 years and 10+ years. IvyKidz aims to make church accessible to young people. We are here to equip children for their own adventure with God through experience, knowledge and understanding.

For children under 3 we have the space and resources available to hold a creche, please let us know in advance if you can. If you are unable to let us know in advance please speak to someone on the welcome team as you arrive.

A Child's Prayer of Thanks
Dear God, thank You for this day! Thank You for the birds and the animals, the flowers and the trees, the lakes and the streams, and the sun that rises and sets over them each day. Thank You for creating everything we see! Thank You for the life we live, and for making each person different. Thank You for Jesus, who died for us so that we can go to heaven one day just for believing in Him. What an amazing God You are! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
