Our next service
Teatime Church is our monthly Sunday service for children and families. It’s a very relaxed service with crafts, toys, messy play, LEGO, singing, story time and interactive prayer, followed by supper for all the children and refreshments for the adults. All are very welcome! Please see below for more information.
Our next Teatime Church service is taking place on Sunday 17th May, 4pm – 5:15pm. At this service, we will be thinking about Pentecost – also known as Whitsun – which is a Christian celebration of the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is celebrated fifty days after Easter Sunday (24th May).
At Teatime Church, children will be able to make doves (a dove appeared when Jesus received the Holy Spirit at his baptism); wind streamers (a powerful wind was felt when the disciples were given the Holy Spirit); make fire playdough in our fire-themed tuff tray (flames appeared when the disciples were given the Holy Spirit), add their own ‘brick’ to our wall of languages (the Holy Spirit enabled Jesus’ disciples to speak in all kinds of different languages) and write their own prayers.
In April, we have a range of special events for children and families. Please visit Upcoming Children’s Events and Services

What Is Teatime Church?
Our Teatime Church Service is a fun, friendly and informal gathering aimed at young families. We meet once a month from 4pm to 5.15pm at the back of Holy Trinity Church. Families are welcome to join us for as long as they wish.
There are various fun craft and play activities for children (for the first 30 minutes of the service), a dedicated baby and toddler corner, child-friendly worship songs, games, LEGO and a short presentation/story and time for a short reflection/action prayer followed by a yummy supper for the children and hot drinks and cakes for the adults. There is plenty of opportunity for children to move around and make some noise, enjoying the beautiful church surroundings while learning about God’s love for them all.
Teatime Church is a service that the whole family can enjoy together and is a wonderful place of fellowship, friendship, fun and faith. It’s a great way to meet other local families and learn a bit more about God and the church. If you’re interested in coming along, please email me, Georgie, for more details at familyworker@westbury-parish-church.org.uk or just turn up!
