At St. Paul's we welcome families with children to take a full and active role in our worship and community.
Sunday Groups take place in the Church Hall or School during part of the 9.30am Sunday Service in term time. Check here for details on a specific date:- :-
We also run a termly ‘Junior Church’ where all our young people can join together in an act of worship specifically for them, which runs alongside the usual 9.30am Sunday Service.
There is also a Youth Group for the over 11's on Sunday evenings at 7.30pm. Further details from Hazel Shaw via the Parish Office
The Zone is a youth club for 11 to 16 year olds which meets in the church hall on Fridays during term time, 8.30-10.00pm.
St Paul’s Church Wilberforce Centre Worship Area
Welcome to our worship area. Here is some useful information:
The worship area in The Wilberforce Centre is an extension of the church upstairs. It is an area for adults to bring their children and at the same time be able to participate in the service through an audio/visual link. We actively encourage participation in the service and ask you to sit, stand, pray and sing at the appropriate time.
There are two supervisors based in the crypt to attend to any incidents and to supervise the clearing away of the toys at the end. They will also guide you back up into church when appropriate and take the collection during the offertory hymn.
This area is primarily for babies and pre- school children. Most Sundays we have groups for older children in both the school and church halls. A leaflet is available to guide your child/ children to the correct group. These groups are a wonderful opportunity for learning about the bible through discussion, fun and games.
As this is a place of worship, we request that your child/children act accordingly and do not run around or be unnecessarily noisy.
Baby change facilities are available in the disabled toilet. Please do not leave any nappies in the toilet bins.
In the event of an emergency evacuation, you will be guided by the supervisors. The assembly point is outside St Paul’s School on the Ridgeway pavement.
Please note that children must be cared for at all times by their parent/carer.
Finally, please pick up a Welcome Leaflet to find out more about our regular Services and life at St Paul’s Church, and to register your details. Thank you
