children's liturgy
|
On a Sunday at the 10.00am Mass we have a children's Liturgy of the Word. This is designed for children of primary school age so that they can hear the scripture reading for Mass in language which is accessible to them. Children's Liturgy is every Sunday unless otherwise stated, please check newsletter. The leaders are Gary Linford, and Christine Cadman. Parents and volunteers are most welcome to help with the Children's Liturgy. All Liturgy Leaders are CRB checked.
The children leave the church after the opening prayer and go to the porch at the back of the Church and return to church to bring down the offertory at the Liturgy of the Eucharist. This is a special time for our children to learn about their Faith, the Gospel and to make new friends. Children take part in prayer, song, story time and activities. A time to encourage and grow in the love of Jesus; to enhance sacramental preparation and RE taught in primary school.
