A Family Church……………….

Here at St Annes, we try to cater for all ages and for those of any or no church background. We welcome children and families to all of our church services and activities and were proud recipients of the Child Friendly Church Award in 2009.

 

Worship…………

You are more than welcome to bring your child or children to any of our services. We do not expect children to be seen and not heard! What is most important to us is that children enjoy coming to church.

 

Please consider sitting where your child can see what's going on, and don't be too worried about a little noise!

 

There are play bags and books available at the back of church, and there is a room which  can be used to take your child into should you feel the need. You can see and hear the service in this room. Toys, changing and toilet facilities are also available here.

 

We also have a variety of activities especially for children and families.
