Children in Church

children

Have you got children who you would love to bring to church? Children are welcome at all of our Services.

Our aim is to make sure every child can be themselves in a safe and welcoming environment.
There are toys and resources in church for them to enjoy and we welcome their participation in all aspects of our worship.

We want the children to have great fun whilst learning more about God and meeting with Him.
This is reflected in our style of worship and our recognition that children greatly enhance our worship with their openness to receive and share God's love.

As well as our usual Sunday Services you may also be interested in:

Family Service

Family Service meets on the Third Sunday of the Month at 11.30am.

This very informal time of worship is particularly suitable for younger children and their families with songs, Bible story, prayer and a craft activity. It lasts for about 30-40 minutes with refreshments available.

Forest Church

Forest Church usually meets on the Second Sunday of the Month ( please check our calendar or facebook page for updates). It is a Fresh Expression of church which recognises and celebrates the presence of God in nature.

This provides for a new way of exploring creation and engaging with God in our local environment. Forest Church is open to children of all ages.

We start from the Church garden at 2.00pm and return around 3.30pm to reflect and have refreshments.

Forest Church meets in all weathers when safe to do so. Please wear appropriate clothes and footwear.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

Whether you've just moved to the area, have lived here all your life or are just visiting, we hope our website helps you to find out everything you want to know about All Saints’ Church, Croxley Green. We would love to see you!

What facilities are available at the church to enable access for all?
♦ We have temporary ramps available on request for step free access. There is a fixed ramp
within the church to improve access for those with mobility challenges.
♦ There is a loop system for those using a hearing aid.
♦ Our church hall opposite has toilets; one of which is a disabled toilet with changing facilities for
babies.
♦ There is street parking available around the church.

What should I wear?
Come as you are, wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing; whether it’s jeans or your Sunday best.

What will happen when you arrive?
You will be welcomed and given everything you need for the service. We always aim to start on time but don’t worry if you arrive late.

What will happen during the service?
Some services are more formal than others (see below), but generally they will include hymns and/or worship songs, prayers, Bible readings and a talk. During a service of Holy Communion you will be invited to go forward for Communion or a personal blessing should you wish.

What about children?
Although we do not have a Sunday school, we feel children enhance our intergenerational worship through their openness and engagement with God; therefore they are welcome at all our services. There is also a selection of toys and activities available for them.

What about money?
The church is completely reliant on donations to cover its running costs and so a collection is taken during our services, where cash or card donations can be made if you wish.

What happens after the service?
There are refreshments available after our Sunday main service. We would love you to join us so we can get to know each other better.
