29days until
St John' 140th Anniversary

0 - 18 yrs

Children and young people are very welcome to all our services. Crèche facilities are available (for the pre-school aged children – Little Fishes on Sundays) during the 10:30 am services every Sunday. Apart from the third Sunday of each month and major Festivals when there is an all-age informal Family Service, children aged 3-18 stay in with the Church family for a talk and perhaps a song or two before going to their own Sunday Club in Scotby Village Hall.

Little Fishes on Sunday Crèche


Pre-school aged children are welcome in the Crèche which is located in the Parish Centre, Scotby. It is supervised by at least two parent volunteers who look after the babies and toddlers in a caring Christian atmosphere. There are lots of toys, puzzles and colouring to keep them happy. If you wish to settle your child in to begin with, feel free to stay for a while or join the team.

Little Fishes meet (please refer to services/diary) at The Parish Centre, Scotby – an opportunity for children to play, sing & learn in a safe Christian environment and for parents and carers to get to know others. We meet at 1.45 pm until 3 pm.

Scramblers and Climbers

In Scramblers (3 - 5 year olds) and Climbers (5 - 7 year olds) we have a lot of fun. We play games, do quizzes, and craft. We also listen, tell and act out stories, including many Bible stories, learning to worship God in our singing and praying. We get to know our leaders and make close friends in a loving environment. We meet in Scotby Village Hall during the service.

Explorers


Explorers (8 - 11 year olds) is all about making new friends and seeing them each week, learning new things about God from the Bible and learning to live our lives the way He wants us to. We have fun playing games and having competitions, making things and being encouraged by our teachers.

Tuesday Club


Tuesday Club (4 - 11 year olds) takes place on… Tuesdays! We meet at Cotehill Methodist Church at 5 pm – 6 pm for games, craft, and Bible stories.

Pathfinders


Pathfinders (11 -14’s) spend time playing games, as well as talking and learning from the Bible about the exciting ways God wants us to live our lives. We also have mid-week 'club nite' on alternate Thursdays in The Parish Centre, Scotby at church around 7:30-9 pm for fun, food and games.


CYFA

CYFA (14+) meets each Sunday morning for an action packed programme, as well as on Wednesday evenings for Bible study. We also have a ‘chill out’ on alternate Thursdays at The Parish Centre, Scotby.
