Monday Club happens during school term time at Chingford Parish Church Hall (E4 7EN) from 3:30-4:45pm. Aimed at primary school age children and their parents/carers, but open to younger children if their parent/carer 'stays and plays'!

Each week, there's activities for you to enjoy as a family group or that you can drop your child off to enjoy. Either way, its the perfect drop in for on your way home for some FREE fun art and craft activities, challenges, snacks, drinks and fun Bible stories!

Families are free to either 'stay and play' together or to 'drop and go' (please note drop & go places are only available for children of primary school age).

Cherubs toddler group

Free

It starts with chatting to one another and children can play with the play-dough and toys. A member of Clergy and RBF lead the service with songs, Bible story, craft relating to the story, snack, musical instruments and parachute games.

Prayer club

Every Monday lunch time

12:00-12:30pm at Chingford CofE (Year 2s only)

Prayer club is a chance for the children to listen to different Bible stories, a reflective craft activity that are related to the Bible story we do each week. Then at Christmas and Easter they write and read out prayers at the end of term service. For the summer term we will look at one story for a few weeks and retell the story in front of Key stage 1 and parents which includes songs and prayers.

Crossover

Crossover is a project run in the junior school for year 6 to prepare them for the transition to secondary school. Throughout the weeks we follow the story of Moses’ life linking them to different themes they might experience. At the end of the course to foster greater independence and confidence the group are taken out into the local community to complete a challenge to fund and source the food for a celebration meal on a very small budget talking to as many local people and businesses as possible.

Communion prep

RBF co-ordinate, prepare and deliver a seven-session course around access to Holy Communion each year for children who wish to explore communion further.
