Youth Cell

Our Youth Cells meets on Tuesday Evenings between 6.30pm to 7.45pm (years 6-9) and 8.00pm to 9.30pm (years 10+).

It is for Christian young people with a desire to share with one another, learning and growing in faith.

We spend time learning and discovering biblical truths through discussion based out of our everyday lives. Our thoughts and attitudes are often challenges, as are our actions in life.

If a you are a Christian young person and are interested in joining a Youth Cell, please speak with Paul Harris.

An introductory course to Christianity specifically designed for young people which covers the basics of the Christian faith using a variety of media such as video clips and songs, mixed with games, activities and much discussion.

Youth Alpha is an opportunity to... Ask questions..........Explore answers..........Find meaning to life. ...for Young People

Parent & Toddler Group - After the Wednesday Pram Service at 9.50am, the St Francis Parent and Toddler Group runs between 10am and 11.30am during school term times. We are always happy to meet new people and would particularly welcome anyone who would like to become a helper on our rota. Everyone’s input is valued and you do not have to commit to every week.

Each week the group offers a craft, song time, baby corner, slide and trampoline, ride on toys and lots of make believe and creative play; including dressing up, a home corner, train table, building toys and a dolls house.
