St Mary's Church, Dymock

Toddlers

A Children's Corner: is provided in the North Transept (left area) at the front of the church which comprises a set of shelves to house boxes of toys and craft materials and a low table and chairs suitable for young children, together with normal chairs for parents to use whilst they supervise. (Gifts of more toys always welcome). The idea is to provide an area where young children can go during each of our Services so they get to experience our worship as they grow up and parents can take part without worrying about what to do with their children when the adult Services are less engaging for them. All are welcome - the congregation support this idea and are happy to accept a degree of noise and activity whilst they get on with the Service, so please feel free to join us and make full use of the facility.

'Sparks'

A group of toddlers meet every third Sunday in the secure space at the back of the church (under the tower) whilst their parents join the congregation for the morning Service. They follow a similar theme as the Service, but with material suited to their age, then join us in the church near the end of the Service to show us what they've been doing.
