There is usually a crèche provided and we also have an area at the back of the Church for parents with younger children which has books and quiet toys.  On the second Sunday of the month a special activity session is run for pre-school children - we call it Noah's Ark.

There are all age services at the end of each month, often with many of the children participating.

Holiday Bible Club
organised by
Christians Working Together in Shanklin

Our team has been deeply involved in developing this fun week for children that is held at the start of the summer holidays in July.

The Shanklin Holiday Bible Club is run in July for 5 - 10 year olds, with around 100 local children attending.  It's great fun for all the kids, bringing home the Bible with singing, dancing, drama, crafts, games and fun.

See the Christians Working Together page for details.

Later each year, on 31st October, a reunion to the Holiday Bible Club is held - The Highlight Party.  This is organised as an alternative to Halloween and is very popular amongst Shanklin children.
