| The
Junior Church and Crèche programme at City Church provides
opportunities for young people to play a full part in church life.
“Junior Church” is more than just “Sunday School”
because it is more than just education. In Junior Church children
learn together, but they also pray together, sing together and give
together. Junior Church is based on a commitment to develop the whole
person. The programme begins with the whole community gathered for
worship, which always includes a special focus on young people in
learning, song and prayer.
Just before
the sermon, the young people gather to continue exploring the theme
of the day in age-appropriate sessions staffed by a team of nine.
The crèche department (ages nought to three) is followed
by three Junior Church groups for ages 3-6, 6-11, and 12 and up
(from their mid-teens, most stay in for the whole service). We use
a lectionary-based curriculum that gives the children, teachers
and parents the opportunity to look further into the meaning of
the Sunday Bible passages read during worship. The exploration of biblical themes
that takes place through art, drama and Christian service and social
action is an exploration that takes place all across City Church
life. Link to www.spiritseasons.com
