Hooerays

Our Hooerays baby and toddler group meets every Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9.00am until 10.30am in school terms. We are a friendly group of parents, grandparents and carers who support and care for each other while little ones play together, enjoy a snack and join our legendary sing song (Wednesdays) or story time (Thursdays). We charge a small fee (currently £1 per family) to cover some of the costs. 
 

KidZone

While adults and our young people remain in the service on a Sunday morning, our younger children (aged 0-11) join with our KidZone leaders for thier own activities.
We love having children as part of our worshipping community and see them as an integral part of our church. Resultantly our service starts with us worshipping God all together as a family. During the service, someone will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their activities.The activities vary depending on the age of the children but there is always a friendly welcome, a Bible story and craft. Often we sing, perform a drama and play games. All to help the children engage and connect with God in ways that are appropriate and relatable to them.

 

Toddler Service

Spread throughout the year, we come together to celebrate festivals such as harvest, Christmas, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Children explore these festivals through stories, crafts and songs. These Thursday morning events are open to all and we are often joined by our local pre-schools.
 

Occasional Events

Through out the year we seek to engage with whole families by running different activities (please see upcoming events). These vary from drop-in sessions such as our pumpkin parties and spring life parties. We also hold a summer fun day each year on the Hooe Primary Academy playing fields.

 
All our leaders are trained in safeguarding and have Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks. Many come with a wealth of experience in working with children and young people in their professional lives as well as within church.
