Emmanuel Sunday School

During term time (but not including the first Sunday in every month which is the Family Service) there is a flourishing Sunday School held in the Church Community Room during the 10 am service.

This is open to children of school age.

The Family Service, on the first day of the month, is an opportunity for the children attending Sunday School to participate by reading the lesson, saying prayers, serving and singing.

The Sunday School Co-ordinators are Emma Smith and John Ward. Contact them if you wish to know more about the Sunday School which is open to children of school going age.
