Children’s Area in St Mary’s Church
There is a children’s area at the back of church with books and toys for families to use with their children. Most Sundays, colouring and other craft activities are provided for children and young people who would like to use them.
There are bags at the back of church with toys, books, drinks and snacks. They have been prepared with a specific age range of children in mind.
School Visits
We are delighted to have the opportunity to welcome school children to visit our church.
Children from Millfields C of E Primary School and Heygarth Primary School visited St Mary’s for Easter 2024.
They learned about the real story of Easter and learned that Freddie the Easter Bunny is not in the Bible!
The schools had also visited the previous autumn. Below are some extracts from letters of thanks received from children in Y3 of Heygarth Primary School.
