High Street is proud of the fact that everyone feels part of our church family

We have a wonderful Junior Church that meets at 10.30 on Sundays. It enjoys and encourages singing, drama and music.

Babies feel special in our Sunday morning 10.30 creche with its caring helpers.

Our Building Blocks toddler group welcomes all parents and carers to bring babies and toddlers to play.

If you want more information about the groups please email the church office at office@highstreetmethodist.org.uk

Building Blocks

This toddler group meets at the church on Wednesdays (1.00-3.00 pm) and Thursdays (9.30-11.15 am) during term time. All parents and carers are invited to bring babies and toddlers to play, and it's a great opportunity for the adults to make new friends and chat while the children explore the toys.

Refreshments are provided for everyone, and there is a craft activity for the children. We also have a varied programme of short discussions, sometimes with a video on parenting issues or with an outside speaker.We round off each session with a short Bible story and some lively songs for the toddlers.

Call in any Wednesday or Thursday to see Building Blocks in action.

Junior Church

Beginners (3-5 years) learn about Jesus's love through singing, stories, and activities.

Stars (5-7 years) usually go into church for 10 minutes, then have our own programme of fun and learning. We sing, have a Bible story and perhaps play a game. We share news and pray with the children, and talk through ideas as they work together.

J4Js (7-11 years) are a lively and large department. Divided by school year, each group has two leaders so that teaching is age related. Everyone then joins together in worship. Parents and friends are encouraged to join us when the church service finishes.

Extra activities include -
open air worship, safari lunches, outings, talent shows and parties

DJs (11 - 14 years) Our aim is to help our youngsters see the relevance of Christ in their lives and to put a Christian perspective on the events in the world around us.

We meet upstairs at the lecture hall end of the church. We usually join in the first part of the church service. We provide fun and friendship, biscuits and soft drinks! We teach through games, drama, debates, group chats and so on. We share prayers together and have a prayer request board for all to use. We hope to get to know each other well enough to share news and issues with each other.

Every three months we organise some social activity such as bowling, Activity World, pizza parties and BBQs. These are good opportunities to bring friends along and have a great deal of fun, which is the key word for 11 to 14 year olds!

The leader is Jill Barber who can be contacted through the Church Office.
