Family Services
These are usually on the first Sunday in the month. They are short, bright and have something for all ages. Cards with the dates for the year are kept near the Church entrance, and the dates are also on the Our Services page.
At a Family Service there are lots of opportunities for involvement, with a wide range of activities, readings and drama.
Our Christingle service held in early December is loved by many children and their families, as we make a circle around the church and sing Away in A Manger with candles lit on our decorated oranges.
Our All-Age crib service is usually held on Christmas Eve afternoon at 3.30pm.
The Easter Garden
Our Good Friday morning service at 10.30am is a chance to join in the story of Holy Week, as we move round the Church and have an activity at each point.
After the service the children make our Easter Garden.

Looking for somewhere to take your baby or toddler? Would you like to meet other parents and children? Why don’t you give us a try?
We have a variety of toys, craft activities every week, refreshments for children and grown-ups, singing at the end of each session.
You can find us in our Parish Room at St. Thomas Church.
Please join us – you’d be very welcome!
DURING OUR SERVICES
Junior Church runs in the Parish Room, usually on the Third, Fourth and Fifth Sundays during the first part of our 10.30 Service. The First Sunday is usually an all age service and on the Second Sunday, there is Church at 4pm.
There is a Children’s Corner with table and chairs, toys, paper and crayons and a library of children’s books. Baby changing facilities are available in the Parish Room next door.
We are happy for your children to be in church during the service.
Guides and Brownies
St Thomas’s has a long history of association with Guides and Brownies. There are currently enthusiastic Guide and Brownie groups. These are enormously popular in the parish and the town.
Brownies and Guides meet on Fridays
Brownies from 5.45pm to 7.15pm
