St Mark's Rocks

At St Marks’s Church we want to ‘tell the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders he has done’, Psalm 78:4.

St Mark’s Rocks is the new name for Junior church. We use a mix of stories, crafts, games, and songs to tell children the glorious deeds of the Lord; nurture their spirituality; help them know the reality of God’s love for them; inspire them to come to Jesus, the living stone; and have lots of fun together! Each child is given a rock to decorate and write their name on which is kept in a heart-shaped box to remind them that God knows them by name, that they are loved by God, and they are kept close to his heart.

We meet during the 10am service on most Sunday mornings in term-time, except for the second Sunday of the month when we have an All-age service. Children leave church with the leader of their group during the first hymn and return in time for Holy Communion with their parents.

St Mark’s Rocks is open for all children, whether regulars at St Mark’s or visitors, from age 3 to the end of Year 6. If you plan to bring children on a more regular basis, we have a form for you to complete to give us your contact details and relevant information about your child(ren).
