Everyone who attends St Barnabas and Christ's Chapel is welcome to join one of the groups that meet throughout the parish. Groups are an excellent way to get to know one another better in a smaller setting than after a parish service. The Housegroups and Study Groups provide a great way of strengthening our own faith and exploring what our discipleship means for us, our families and our community.
When?
Sundays
Children up
to age 3
There is a crèche during the 10.00am
service. The crèche is provided to allow parents to leave their
children and join the service. It is staffed at a ratio of
1:6. Parents are welcome to spend part of the time with their
children for the purpose of helping them settle in, for a few weeks
if necessary. The space in the crèche is on a first-come,
first-served basis.
Quiet Room
This is for those parents,
grandparents and carers who need to feed small babies, or who have
not-yet- mobile babies who need a quieter, less crowded
environment. We ask that this room is kept quiet and peaceful so
that sleeping babies are not disturbed.
Children
over 3 but not yet in Reception Class
Scramblers is the group for you! This groups meets in
Room 4. This is staffed on a 1:12 basis so children who arrive late
will need to have an adult stay with them. It is appreciated if
these extra helpers ask the leader how they can assist in the
lesson. If you do arrive late with your child please respect the
fact that the lesson has already started and you will need to help
your child engage with what’s going on.

Parents' Newsletter: Spring 2008
You may not be
aware of how our Sunday School is organised, especially if you’re
new to the church. Sunday School is organised in roughly the same
lines as school years and terms. Before children start Sunday School
many of them become accustomed to being without their parents for a
short time by going to the crèche.
