Altogether Time


This is a time spent altogether in church for family worship, to share in music, song and thanksgiving before registering children into their groups. The children may often take part in the service during these times.





Registration


Children may be taken to the Registration Desk in the café area after the Altogether Time (at about 10.50am) or from 10.25am on Holy Communion Sundays. However, the Crèche is open for registration throughout the service and crèche registration is done in the Rainbow Room.

All parents / carers for children 0 - 11 years receive a Registered Child card with either the child's name or a group number on it. Collection of children from their groups at 12.00pm (or at the end of the service for crèche children) may only be done by the adult returning the Registered Child card to the group leader.
