Railway Children

The Railway Children logo

Our Sunday School is called “The Railway Children”. 

We meet every Sunday  at the 10am service

 we are not meeting on Christmas Day or New Years Day - please join us in church instead

On the second Sunday we will stay in church for a child friendly service. 

On the other weeks there will be special activities for the children and we always end our time together by returning to church for a blessing. 

Activities are based on the Bible readings for the day or the season of the Christian year.

We welcome children from 0 upwards

There are a group of 15 leaders and helpers who work on a rota basis with two groups – roughly split between pre-school and children at school.

All helpers have been CRB checked.

We currently have around 25 children on the Register and some of the older children have been trained as Servers and are being brought into that rota to serve in the 10am services.

Some of the older children have received a short course of training and now receive Communion.

 Come and join us - everyone welcome

If you would like to know more about the Railway Children,  then please contact Sue Lodge on 352471 or Ruth Cook at  the Parish Office on Taunton 332531

Just before Christmas the Railway Children entertained us with their Nativity play, “The Brightest Star!”  They put on a wonderful performance which retold the Christmas story with readings and carols. For the first time we used our new technology, loaned to us by St Andrew’s School, using projected images on the big screen as a backdrop. We all enjoyed seeing Richard and Kirsty Councill with their son Reece as the Holy Family, with Alice their newest arrival as baby Jesus. 

Join us at 10am each Sunday
