Introducing our new Creche,
        launching 8th June 2008 at 10.00am

                     

               The Church of the Ascension, Wall Heath
                              The little Church, for little people

The Church of the Ascension, Wall Heath, recognises the challenges facing those with young children wanting to come to church. Our new creche is aimed at providing support which we hope will encourage you to come along and enjoy a time of worship.

When will the creche run?
The creche is to be held every Sunday morning in the Church Hall and will run throughout the 10.00 service. Families will be invited to take their children to the hall during the second hymn, for around half an hour. Everyone can then rejoin the main service in time for the Eucharistic prayer and communion.

Who can attend?
The creche is principally aimed at 0-6 year olds attending our church. A registration form will have to be completed for every child in attendance.

What will happen during creche?
There shall be a range of activities tailored for the varying ages of children in attendance from playtime with toys and crafts, to activities, songs and bible stories. Our aim is to give the young children and families of our church a chance to get to know each other and offer support amongst our church community. We also aim to fulfil the needs of parents who may wish to change or feed their baby in a comfortable and private environment.

Should I stay with my child?
We would ask that all children have one parent or guardian with them. This would offer the remaining family members a chance to focus more easily on their worship. We can discuss arrangements when you feel your child would be happy to be left with those volunteer church members running the group.
