On Sunday 30th September we celebrated the 1st Birthday of our Little Stars Sunday School, with a Worship for Everyone Service. We were also be joined at the service by Karen Beal, the Diocese of Manchester's Children's Work Officer, who presented us with the Diocese's Child Friendly Church Award!
Fr. Chris, Jo Owens (our Little Stars Co-ordinator) and the team at St. Cross have worked very hard to make St. Cross and our services as welcoming and accessible to children and families as possible over the last year and a half, including starting our Sunday School, writing our special Worship for Everyone service booklet and creating Pew Bags with activities for young children to use during our services, and we are delighted that The Diocese of Manchester have awarded us Child Friendly Church status in recognition of this.
This status also represents our ongoing commitment to including children and families in our journey at St. Cross and we have many more ideas and plans to come in the next few years, so we look forward to sharing the growth of this exciting part of our church life with you!!
