Before Lockdown there were a number of activities for children and families
Sundays@10.45
Our Sunday morning activity for children is “adventurers”. Children stay in church for the first song and then depart to the Hyndman centre for songs, stories and craft. They normally return to church before the end of the service and on Communion Sundays, in time to receive a blessing. *if you can't stay yourself, you're very welcome to drop your children off with us (school age children only). Just bring to the entrance of church at 10.35. Collect from 11.55 (in church) why not stay for a cup of our excellent coffee or tea while you wait!*
Cafe Church
Worship for all ages at St Peter's Church, Bury St Edmunds - 1st Sunday of every month
Songs - stories - puppets - drama
Arrive 10.30am for coffee, croissants, donuts
Sunday@4...goes messy
'Messy Church' is a way of being church for families involving fun, craft, songs and food! At St Peter's this happens every third Sunday of the month.
Safeguarding
At St Peter's we take safeguarding of Children (and vulnerable adults) very seriously. Click here to view our Parish safeguarding policy. Currently we insist that parents are present at all times during children's activities but all leaders are still DBS checked and undergo Level 1 & 2 Diocesan Safeguarding training.
