To many people, the very name `Sunday School' is off-
Well, one thing at least has changed. There are very few Sunday Schools which still meet on a Sunday afternoon !
Most Sunday Schools now meet on a Sunday morning, at the same time that the adult members of the church are having their service.
Our Sunday school meets in >St Brannock's Rooms at 9.45am. The children then come back to join the adults again for the last ten minutes of the main service.
The second thing that has probably changed most is the way in which the children are taught. The children will only come along on a Sunday morning if they are going to have a good time. So anything that could be described as `boring' is obviously out.
The children follow a lively program, which includes fun, games and a variety of activities like drawing, colouring, acting, and a range of crafts.
We don't have a definite age for starting Sunday school, about four is probably a good age to start, provided the child is happy to stay by themselves or an adult can stay with them.
The children can remain in Sunday school until the age of about twelve. Perhaps then they might like to help out at the >Sunday service or if they enjoy singing,
We meet every Sunday of the year, and your child is welcome to come along whenever they would like to.
We also run a variety of children's activity; keep an eye out for posters advertising them.
We hope your child will be very happy in Sunday school, but if you have any concerns then please talk to one of >the leaders or to the vicar
