CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

We currently have a vacancy for a part time Children and Families Worker. 

At St Swithun’s Church we have a very lively and active children and families ministry!

Each child and family is special and important and we celebrate them all and welcome them into the life of the church. With this in mind we have lots of things on offer for our children and families to attend and get involved with.

Our group Facebook page is St Swithun's Church Bathford

Monthly Family Trails   - Currently paused while awaiting arrival of a new Children and F amilies  Worker

Every 2nd weekend in the month (January and February excluded), we provide an outdoor family trail, which is held in the churchyard at St Swithun’s Church. These trails are designed to encourage wandering and wondering and to appreciate God’s wonderful world around us. There are suggested activities to do as you journey on the trail and a craft bag to explore & enjoy as you wander.

Previous trails have included a Harvest Trail, Pumpkin Trail, Advent Window Trail, Three Wise Men Trail, Love Trail and a Spring Family Trail.

Our family services run every 4th Sunday in the month  at 10am.  These services are always lively and lots of fun! Each service includes children and family songs, a dramatized bible story, craft, children’s talk/reflection and prayer time, and there is always something for the adults.  Please click here.
