Godly Play and Storybag
These are innovative methods of helping children to engage with the stories of our faith. They are suited to all ages of children and young people and are especially useful with children of different ages. We can offer training or support.
Children and Holy Communion
Since 1998 it has been possible for parishes to consider whether they should admit children to Holy Communion before Confirmation, and then apply to the Bishop for permission. This may be a lengthy consultation but needs to be done in partnership with the Children’s Adviser. This is an important area of work with PCC's and the local church community. Contact us if you would like an information pack.

Open the Book
|
Have you ever thought that children in schools might be missing out on what the bible has to show them? Your parish could offer Open the Book to your local primary school. “Open the Book” is a series of 90 Bible stories presented in weekly collective worship over three school years; each lasting about fifteen minutes. The stories are taken from “The Lion Storyteller Bible” by Bob Hartman and two Storybooks produced especially for the project. The stories are presented using a variety of storytelling techniques.
