‘Rise and Shine’ on Sunday mornings at 9.30 a.m. is for children from pre-School to roughly age 10 in St. Peter’s Room alongside our Parish Communion service in the Church.  To begin with everyone will gather in St. Peter’s with the congregation for the start of the service and the first hymn. During the last verse of the hymn the children will assemble at the front to outline what they’ll be doing and to witness the lighting of the Calpino Candle. After a prayer has been said, they will leave with a candle to remind them of God’s presence in their learning. If they have completed their activities in time they may return into the Church before the final hymn to tell us what they’ve been doing. To encourage attendance and to allow children not to have to rush on Sundays (making things easier for parents), there will be a light breakfast snack on offer during the meeting.  Contact : Emma at  emma.dk74@gmail.com ‘Messy Church’ St. Peter’s: Every Friday during Term Time -   11.45 until 1.45 pm.
