St Mary’s and St Augustine’s – Family Friendly Churches

Hello and welcome to our churches. We are Catherine and Kristin and we are the Children’s Workers for St Mary’s and St Augustine’s. Both churches welcome people with children. We are always pleased to see children at the services and are happy to help out in any way we can to make you and your family feel welcome.

You may find the informal services are a good place to start. Every week there is one  informal service on offer and at least one of us will be there in person. After each service (before and during Café Church) there are refreshments on offer.  There are often crèches too.
