Sunday Club
Rochester Cathedral Sunday Club
Children of all ages are very welcome to join the Cathedral Sunday Club. We meet most Sunday mornings, in the Ithamar Chapel, down in the crypt at 10.30am.
After some games, songs and a time of sharing, we split into three different age groups and go to different areas for the rest of the session. We usually have lots of fun learning about God in a variety of ways, for example: through bible and other stories, discussion, drama, craft, cooking, games and prayer.
We also have different events throughout the year, including:
- an Easter egg hunt
- a donkey procession
- a summer picnic with games
- outings
- children’s services
- a Christmas party
The three groups within Sunday Club are:
Little Seekers – age 0-6 years (year 1)
After an initial time of sharing, Little Seekers stay in the Ithamar Chapel for their session.Discoverers – age 6 upwards
This group usually moves to another part of the crypt for their session.Frogs – age 11 upwards
This group either meets in the Crypt or occasionally at Garth House or East Canonry.
Junior Worship
On the first Sunday of most months there is a less formal service in the Ithamar Chapel aimed at children of all ages, ie children, young people and their families. A music group provides musical accompaniment and visiting Speakers and other Church groups are often invited to lead worship. The forthcoming 2008 programme includes:
September 7
New Beginnings - Captain Graham Nunn (Church Army)
Children and Holy Communion
The cathedral runs an Exploring Holy Communion course for children aged 7 upwards. The course runs for 6 weeks, usually after Easter. This is a fun-filled course with lots of yummy food, games, drama, stories and activities. Young people who have attended the course can go on to receive Communion.
Summer Holidays
Sunday Club will be closed from 27th July to 31st August 2008, inclusive; the first Sunday back will be Junior Worship on 7th September.
