Junior Church and Messy Saints

Junior Church meets as part of  the main Sunday morning Mass during term time and is open to all children aged between 4 years old and 11 years old. The children follow the same Bible readings as the congregation and have the opportunity to share their learning with everyone at the end of the service. 

The first Sunday of the month is usually an All-Age Service and the children participate in the service with readings and leading our time of prayer. They also participate in the major Festivals, for example, performing a Nativity Play at Christmas.

Safeguarding

All our activities are carried out in accordance with the Diocese of Southwark's "A Safe Church" safeguarding policy document which can be found on the Diocese's website: www.southwark.anglican.org

Messy Saints meets at St. Barnabas Church usually once a month on a Saturday afternoon between 2.00 p.m. and 3.30 p.m. The aim is to think about the Christian faith in an informal manner, with art and craft activities, informal worship, fun, games and food. 

The Next Messy Saints workshop will be  our Pentecost Workshop this is where we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church. 

It is on 12th May 2.00 p.m. - 3.30 p.m

More details will be given out near the time. 

As part of Messy Saints the children create banners and displays for the Church on the particular theme to compliment the Church's calendar. Messy Saints is for children aged 4 years and older and parent(s)/carer(s) are welcome to join with us.
