Messy Church, Refresh, Toddlers, Children's Area, Holiday Club, ADVENTure
At last we can meet again and there are some exciting new things happening. Our toddler groups on Tuesdays and Fridays in term time have started up. Then there will be a new service called "Refresh" on the 2nd Sunday of the month at 9.30 am. Refresh will be held in the Church Hall and will include crafts, games and music. Adults are welcome to stay or can join the Parish Praise service in church which runs at the same time. On top of that our Family Fun Sundays are now "Messy Church" with crafts, stories, songs and food. Messy Church will happen at 4pm to 5.30pm on the third Sunday of the month (in term time).
Get ready for our super new holiday club - Super Hero Academy - which will run for three days from 24 - 26 August 2021. Check out the events pages for all the details and collect an application form from the Parish Office.

This will be the last video as we will be back in All Saints’ hall with a fully rebranded Messy Church on 20 June from 4pm till 5.30pm (and every 3rd Sunday in term time) with craft, stories, songs, and food. This will be free, but we do appreciate donations towards the cost of the food and craft supplies.

Sadly we are not able to hold our Christingle service in church on 13th December this year, but the service will be live streamed on the Parish website on the sermons pages. If you would like to make a Christingle yourself at home either beforehand or after the service there will be kits available with everything needed to make one. If you would like a kit please contact me by telephone or email and I will deliver one to you.

Messy Church is a monthly activity based service, usually on a Sunday afternoon, for all children up to the age of 12 years, and their parents, grandparents and carers. We start at 4pm in the All Saints' church halls with lots of time for activities and crafts based around the Bible, which the children do with their parents and carers, followed by plenty of lively singing and a story. We end our time together with a tasty snack and refreshments for all. Children take home everything they have made.
We always finish with a story, songs and prayers and sometimes a video. Then there is a lovely tea to all enjoy together.
We look forward to welcoming you to Family Fun. If you have any questions, please email children@sanderstead-parish.org.uk.
An exciting Summer Holiday Club for children aged 5 -11, is planned for 24th - 26th August 2021.

The Children's Area at All Saints is located in St Catherine’s Aisle, which is part of the main church. There are toys, books, games and puzzles suitable for babies and older children and a member of our congregation, who has been D & B checked, stays in the Area throughout the service to look after and ensure the safety of the children. Parents are welcome to stay with their children or to come and go during the service. Children can take toys or colouring books from the Children’s Area and sit with their parents if they prefer. There are toilet facilities and a baby changing unit nearby in the vestry.
Our lively and popular Toddler Groups meet in All Saints Halls on Tuesday and Friday mornings at 9.30 am in term time. Back on 8th June 2021.
