CHILDREN AND YOUTH

We welcome children and young people of all ages and stages of belief to become a part of the Christian family at St Mary Magdalene Church.

This means that before, and from the time children are baptised they are welcomed into the Church and have the opportunity to grow, explore and strengthen their faith through belonging, taking part and finding out more.

We like our young members to be seen and heard and encourage participation in services through reading, drama and music.

There is something for everyone. Families with very young children are invited to come to any service, but may find Parish Praise, every third Sunday, a more informal service to attend. Soft toys and quiet games are kept at the back of the church for younger children to use during services.

Wednesday Worship at 10am on Wednesday mornings is also a good time to bring pre-school children to an informal service of songs and worship.

SUNDAY CLUB

KING'S KIDS is for 3-5 year olds and is held in the Old School Building in New Road, from at 9.45 to 11.15am.

YOUTH FELLOWSHIP

CRISS CROSS is our School Fellowship for Year 4+ and is held every Thursday 6.00pm to 7.30pm at the Church.

EASTER HOLIDAY CLUB 2011

A fantastic time was had by all of the 60 children who joined the Littleton Easter Holiday Club this year.

Using the theme of space travel, we explored the life of St Peter from his ‘Blast Off’, when Jesus called him to be a “Fisher of Men”, through to the ‘Black Hole’ of his denial of Jesus, concluding with ’Battle Stations’ as Peter miraculously escapes prison.

The kids made rockets, flying saucers, hats of flame (to mark Pentecost), kaleidoscopes and fishing boats. They played games and learnt some fantastic songs and dance moves. New friends were made and great fun was had.
