Families

In several of our village churches we have a short all age services or meetings suitable for both adults and children:

GAP

On the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, at Long Compton church, 4 - 5pm we have an informal service called GAP which stands for God and People. We have modern styled worship, and a breakout group for primary aged children to get to know more about Jesus through drama, storytelling, discussion and crafts. 

This service is suitable for 11-18 year olds.

We have a carpeted toy area for younger aged children and a separate chill out room.

After the service we share tea, coffee and yummy food together like pizza and hotdogs.

Connect

On the second Sunday of the month, we encourage families to come and meet at Long Compton village hall, 3-4pm for Tea, coffee, cake, chat, fun and laughter, along with a thought for the day and themed, quiz’s, games and crafts.

School Assemblies

We have very positive links with Acorns Primary School in Long Compton, and we host the schools Christmas, Easter and Harvest services. The school also welcome in our team to present Open the Book in assemblies.

Giggle Tots

Giggle tots is a free baby and toddler group, at Long Compton village hall Thursday mornings 10- 11:30am, for all care givers with babies and children 0-4, 

Come along and join us for fun friendship. 

We aim to have something for children in all of our 10:30 Church services across the benefice. 

We also have Annual celebratory services such as a Good Friday workshop and a festival of light party.

During Advent we have a Posada tradition, which is the nativity story in a gift box, hosted by a family for one night then passed on the next day to a new family. In the box is a story book and prayers along with hand knitted Dolls to help recreate the nativity story, it journeys around the benefice in the lead up to Christmas Day.

All are welcome we can’t wait to meet you!
