St Laurence, Church Stretton - Children's and Young People's Worship

St Laurence's welcomes everyone into the church family gathering together each Sunday or in midweek activities. Please do come and find out how best suits your family to worship, and feed back to us any comments. Moriel Gidney, the Family and Children's Worker welcomes any feedback on morielgidney@hotmail.co.uk
Moriel is a qualified teacher who has run a local Day Nursery for the past twelve years. She has three grown up children of her own and has been a Christian for over 35 years, working with children throughout, both voluntarily and as a teacher.

Our present arrangements are:
1st Sunday of each month - All Age worship enabling the whole family to worship together.
5th Sundays (four or so a year) 10.30 service all together followed by lunch.
All other Sundays, the children start off in the church and go to their own group in the Parish Centre after about fifteen minutes.
 
The preschool and primary school aged children are cared for and taught by a team including four people with child care or teaching qualifications and experience. All people involved hold up to date CRB clearance and teamwork ensures that no-one is ever on their own with children inappropriately. Please do ask Moriel if you have any concerns or questions.
 
There is a crèche which operates for under three year olds over in the Parish Centre as the children leave for their groups. Parents can liaise with the people on duty there, either taking their little ones over, or keeping them in church and maybe going over as the need arises, or just keeping them in church. With today's lifestyle where so many parents spend a long time away from their children during the week, you are encouraged to choose whatever pattern suits you on Sundays and we aim to work with you to provide the best for everyone.
 
Moriel is involved in the school and an enthusiastic team of people go in to do Open the Book Assemblies where they act out Bible stories to a delighted assembly of children. Midweek clubs also operate at the Primary school:
Jam - Key Stage 1 club 3.15-4.20
3:16- Key Stage 2 club 3.16-4.30
Both clubs use Godly Play which is a gentle, open ended exploration of Bible stories with the opportunity to respond in different ways. Two of the people involved have been on an intensive course which they thoroughly enjoyed and wanted to share.
 
Richard Hill (rector) or Moriel Gidney are happy to talk with parents about any of the provision or wider issues.
