Junior Church
We are a lively and enthusiastic group of youngsters and leaders meeting to worship God every Sunday in the church hall, during the 10.00am service. Our group is thriving and we generally meet in 2 groups of primary and secondary school age.
We have fun while exploring our faith and we enjoy lots of games and practical activities as we learn. Each month we follow a biblical theme suggested in the SALT materials we follow, produced by Scripture Union. Each age group is catered for with appropriate activities and supporting magazines. Sometimes we help with worship in church by singing or telling a story through drama.
We love to welcome new members! Just come along to church or ring Jackie Price (0121 777 8379) for more details.
JUNIOR CHURCH AND THE EUCHARIST
If
you went to junior church, you return at this point. The Eucharist is meal. We
share it together and our fellowship grows. Before we share in the meal, we show
a sign of peace to one another. People
often shake hands with the people around them.
The priest
leading the service gives thanks and praise to God and s/he describes the day
before Jesus was crucified (put on the cross) and how he gave the bread and wine
to his followers (the Last Supper). The priest will consecrate the bread and the
wine. This means they become Jesus’ body and blood. This is done because the
night before Jesus died he told his disciples (his friends) that they should eat
bread to represent his body and wine to represent his blood, and to do this in
memory of him.
Most people
will receive the bread and the wine, while some people, including most of the
younger people, will receive a blessing at the altar.
This is when
the priest leading the service blesses the people in the church by asking God to
be with them now and every day. Before leaving you may want to say a prayer.
