Children’s Work at St Nic’s
Ablaze is our Sunday morning children’s work where
we come together to have fun learning about God. The children start the
morning in church with their families and then move down into the church
centre where the 3–11 year olds gather together for songs and games before
splitting down into smaller teaching groups: Sparks 3–5yrs, Ignite 6–8yrs,
Inferno 9–11yrs. A crèche also runs for the under 3s.
Ablaze
Praise happens once a month when all the children’s groups come
together to meet during the service. We have games, talks, puppets, drama
sketches and lots more to help us learn about God. We also spend time
praising God through song, led by our own children’s band Joyful Noise. The younger children (3 years and
below) meet together for Crèche Praise Sunday in the lower
lounge.
Power Source is our group for 8–11 year olds. We
meet every Monday evening from 6.30–7.45pm. The group meets in homes in
West Bridgford and Wollaton. We work on a fortnightly basis of social time
one week and cell the next. In the cell sessions we use the “4 W”s
(welcome, worship, word, and witness) to help us learn and spend time with
God.
Sparklers is our group for parents with preschool
children. We meet together fortnightly on a Friday afternoon 2–4pm at St
Mary’s church hall, Wollaton Park. The afternoon is a mixture of free
play, crafts, songs and stories for the children with space for parents to
socialise and support each other.
Once a year we also run a Holiday Club and a 8–11 years Weekend Away.
