Railway Children

The Railway Children logo

Our Sunday School is called “The Railway Children”. 

We meet every Sunday  at the 10am service

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  - 11.

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.

We also aim to have Activity mornings on a Saturday once a term and the children led the Christingle service in January 2010 and aim to take part in other special services, 2 – 3 times per year.

 Come and join us - everyone welcome

From September we will be having a group for KS3 children - age 11+

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  

 

Our most recent Activity morning in December 2009 had a theme of Christmas.
