Bible Storytime

Children from Amberley Playgroup join us in church on one Monday each month at 9.30am. We sing as we light the candle, then listen to news and celebrate birthdays. We have a Bible story and a prayer, followed by an action hymn together. The birthday children blow out the candle to end our time together. Any toddler with parent or carer is welcome to join us.

Open the Book

A team of storytellers visit Amberley School in pairs each Monday afternoon to lead the school assembly. The Open the Book scheme was devised to make stories from the Bible familiar to all our children.  Over the three year programme, the children hear stories from Genesis to the end of the Acts of the Apostles. They hear how Jesus healed and taught – and how the early church was formed. In this way it is hoped that every child will hear each story twice during their years at primary school.

Youth Group

Children from 8 years of age may join the youth team in the Parish Rooms on alternate Monday evenings from 6.30 to 8pm. The children may catch up with their friends and play games, listen to music or take part in a programme of activities that include quizzes, cookery and crafts.

Quest

This is a learning and discussion group for secondary school youngsters, who share their views on the moral and ethical issues in today’s world that affect how we live as Christians. It is a fun and lively group – who annually also help to prepare a Sunday service for the whole church family. Usual meeting place is the Rectory on the third Sunday evening each month from 6.45 to 8pm.
