For the children on Sundays...
Xplorers
During term-times, Xplorers gather all together in the Centre after the first part of the 11.15 service. Each session will include games, Bible stories, puzzles, crafts and songs with items and activities appropriate for all ages.
Xplorers is led by an experienced team, including Andy Pymer, Margaret Birks, Cathy Harding & Clare Jones. All children who are at school and are happy to be left by their parents are welcome.
Candlelights
For 0 to 4 year olds, Candlelights offers a safe space and a chance to learn about God. Candlelights is led by Tracy Prudhoe with a team of volunteers.
Lighthouse
This is an event for children and their families on the third Sunday morning of each month. It lasts about 45 minutes and is packed with songs, stories, activities, video and a chance to learn about God together.
...during the week...
Chatterbox
For parents with babies and toddlers, Chatterbox provides a place to meet and relax, where little ones will be safe and can play together. Join us between 9:30 and 11:30 on alternate Thursdays in the Centre. There are occasional services on Thursday mornings for the under 5’s with songs, prayers, and fun.
Check the weekly notices for the dates of children’s activities, or contact us.

...and in the holidays...
Summer Holiday Clubs
Each year in the summer holidays St. Luke’s Church Family runs a week-long Children’s Holiday Club.
This consists of games, crafts, competitions and Christian teaching. Under 5’s meet in the Church Centre and the 5 to 11’s meet in the church building itself which is totally transformed for the week. In 2008, the clubs had an Olympic theme – infants in the morning, juniors in the afternoon and 11-14 year olds in the evenings, with facilities for parents and carers.
Children’s places are limited and you will need to book in advance.
