We are delighted to invite you to a special Multicoloured Light Party on October 31st. There will be the usual fun Praise Party mix of songs, drama and activities, but this time we are extending a special welcome to the whole family. The content of the evening will be most suitable for primary age children, but we hope that parents and, at your discretion, siblings from outside the age range, will come too. Children will pay £3 per head, on the door. Adults will not be charged although they are welcome to give a donation. Read more here

Children, especially lively ones, are very welcome at G2!
All the children are with us for the first part of the meeting before they go to their own clubs. We have two clubs running for Children. G2 Mini’s (3-5’s) and G2 Juniors (5-11’s).
G2 Mini’s meet in the studio and G2 Juniors on the landing. The children leave at about 11.15 when parents will be asked to take them to their clubs (please take them to the toilet before you drop them off). Both clubs finish at 12 noon when the children are returned to the main room.
Pre-school children are welcome to stay in the meeting with their parents and use the crèche area in the corner of the room.
This term there is a new rota for ‘Parent helpers’. We are asking each parent to sign up once per term as a helper in one of the children’s groups. The children’s workers are exempt from this rota :-).
