Children and Families
Do you have children? We have lots of fabulous activities going on for children at the church. We want to help children and youth grow confident in God's constant love for them. Our groups are led by dedicated team of parents who volunteer their time and also checked and trained in Safeguarding. We look forward to meeting you!
Sundays at 11am - all age service
Families gather every Sunday at 11AM for worship. Feel free to arrive at 10.30 am to grab a coffee and a biscuit in the Bricstan Hall first. We will move into the main church building for 11 am.The service engages all ages with worship songs and engaging activities. Everyone and anyone is welcome to this contemporary style service - you don’t have to have children. We hope you can join us.
Children’s Groups
Chatteris church families
Our church families are a great, inviting group of people that merge to form one BIG family community! Everyone mucks in and there’s no pressure on anything to be “perfect”, so we hope to make everyone feel at home.
We’d love to meet you, either at one of our Sunday meetings, Toddler Praise or at one of our other events. For the latest news and updates check out our Chatteris Church Families Facebook page. See you there!
Toddler Praise
Toddler Praise meets at 1PM - 2:15PM every Friday (term-time) in the Bricstan Hall. We share a Bible story, do some craft and sing fun worship songs together. If you’d like more information, so check out our Toddler Praise Facebook Page or get in touch with Sabina, by email sabina@chatteris.org or using our contact page.
Assemblies online
In case you are still looking for some excellent resources for your children at home, here are some super assemblies for RE.
In the community
School’s work
As the parish church of Chatteris, we work hard to keep strong relationships with the local school communities. We work closely with three local schools, Kingsfield, Glebelands, and Cromwell primary. We have a small team of volunteers on the schools team to take assemblies and lessons and also host visits to the church. Along with schools, we are happy to provide support for local uniformed organisations. We are always looking for new people to join our schools team so do get in touch if you’re interested.
Summer Holiday Club
Save the date! Holiday Club is planned for October half term 2023. Save the date! There will be lots of games, activities, songs, competitions and so much more.
In the meantime, during Holiday Club we use a lot of songs by Duggie dug. Click here to view his latest video for you to enjoy at home.
Home for good
Every year 40000 children and young people come into care in the UK. We want every child to have a stable and loving home where they can thrive. As a church family we want to support those who welcome children into their homes. Sabina Watson heads up our local network for those who have adopted or providing foster care in Chatteris. Sabina also helps to run our Toddler Praise group. More information about Home for Good can be found on their website: www.homeforgood.org.uk
