Welcome This page is for the junior church but a message from the Rector to the parents and guardians might help in giving the 'bigger picture'. Dear Parents and Guardians, One of the most important things we do in life is looking after and bringing up children. We believe children are a gift from God and, although they do not always seem like Gods's gifts, I am sure you share with me in thanking God for them. The Church recognises children and young people as members in their own right of the church of today as well as, those who will build the Church of tomorrow. That is why we are so pleased to welcome them and to take our share in supporting you and in helping bring them up in the Christian faith. Each week as we gather for worship, there are separate activities specially tailored for the younger children, details of which are above, but also each week they join the rest of the congregation as we go up to the altar and they receive a blessing at the altar rail. I hope you will find this page of our activies for children and young people helpful - and please remember we do not just care about children. You are very welcome too. Yours in Christ Rector of St Nicolas Church, Great Bookham |
