Children's Church
St Margaret's has an active Children's Church, which is divided into three groups: Sparklers for children aged from 3 years up to and including Year 1; Rockets for Years 2 to 5; and Seekers for Year 6 and above. There is also a parent-led creche for children under 3.
Children leave Parish Communion after the Gloria and move to the Church Rooms to take part in songs, prayers and structured activities drawn from the 'Living Stones' teaching aids. The children are brought back into church for Communion.
The Seekers meet during term-time at the Malthouse at the same time as the main Parish Communion service (see the Seekers page).
On the first Sunday of each month, a Family Service is held. The first part of this service is designed to engage with and include younger people, replacing Children's Church.

Child Protection (Safeguarding)
Everyone involved in working with children in any capacity is required to undergo a Criminal Records Bureau check. The designated Safeguarding Representative for St Margaret's is Josie Walledge (see Contact details) but all adult members are encouraged to share responsibility for the safety, well-being and Christian growth of our children.
