Children's Story Page

As we are unable to currently run our children's clubs / youth groups at this time here are some Bible Stories for you to watch to help you continue to learn about the Lord Jesus and the message of the Bible.

Originally done during the COVID - 19 pandemic and for schools that would normally be visited for Collective Worship, hence the references to this time

Serving others

Today we go on a journey to Cyprus to learn about its patron saint and his example of service to others
