Noah's Ark

Every Monday during term time.

Noah's Ark is held on Mondays in the Main Hall.

Parents, grandparents and carers are welcome to bring small children

(up to 5 years of age) to St Andrew’s between 9.30am and 11.00am.

There will be toys, games, music and story time with snacks for the children, tea/coffee and biscuits for the grown-ups. There is no charge.

It is six years since Noah’s Ark began and we are excited by the opportunity to develop further. We are very grateful to the loyal band who have supported Noah in the past, and continue to do so.

 We look forward to seeing you.

Please contact the Church Centre Office on 01234 216881 for more information.

MINISTRY TO SCHOOLS

St Andrew's School and Newnham Middle School are linked with St Andrew's on a regular basis. Music has been taken to a group of autistic children. The St Andrew's Schools Trail is a multi-sensory and participatory experience, whose aim is to welcome children to the church and make them feel comfortable. Amongst other things, they role-play the calling of Andrew and a baptism, and give a reading and a mini-sermon. They take away with them a personalised certificate of attendance, as well as a small chocolate egg.
