St Martins Toddler Group
Our friendly, happy group
for toddlers and their carers meets in term time on Tuesdays 10.30 - 12.00 in
the Brass Crosby Room at the back of the church.
We have plenty of toys, play doh and a craft table. There is always coffee, tea and squash along with tasty snacks. We are a very inclusive, supportive group and welcome new visitors. We try to support with friendship the adult care givers as well as the children. It is a treat to hear happy voices and laughter echoing around our church. We end with a story and group singing. There is plenty of car parking space too. At the end of term we have a story, a song and light a battery candle each, while receiving a blessing from our clergy in our beautiful old church
St Mary’s Church Library During the past few weeks Karen and I have revived the St Mary’s Church Library. It had previously been tucked away behind the piano gathering (a lot of) dust! It is now in the coffee area near the tables and chairs.
Please feel able to borrow any book from time to time and if you have Christian books you’d like to share, please bring them along and give them to Karen or me so we can keep a record of the titles available to borrow.
The larger bookcase remains near to the office and contains study guides for home groups and music and other resources.
Thank you. Gillian
