ALL SAINTS SUNDAY CLUB
AUTUMN TERM 2026

The All Saints Sunday Club is for children and young people aged up to and including 16 years of age. It runs in the John Owen Barn during the 10.00am morning service at Fordham Church/John Owen Barn. The autumn term beings on Sunday 6th September for Luke Group (4-11s) and Sunday 20th September for Matthew Group (11-16s). The weekly sessions are filled with chatting, games, faithful Bible teaching and the opportunity to show we depend on God by praying to Him. Each week children start with their parents or carers in the main church service at 10.00am. On the second Sunday of the month, the whole church meets together, across the age spectrum, for an All Age Worship Service.

MATTHEW GROUP (11 – 16 YEARS) Our focus is to study a book of the Bible or a theme from the Bible. This term we are working through a Mustard Seed course called ‘Encounters with Jesus’, based in Matthew’s Gospel. Alongside this, we have time to catch up with each other, play fun games, and pray together. Our hope is to help the young people to know, believe and trust God’s Word. We want to support your ministry to your children at home, by helping them to keep putting their trust in Jesus. Matthew Group members are invited to the Friday night 421 Youth Group  for 11-18s which young people from the local area and other churches also attend, 7.30 – 9.00pm in the John Owen Barn. We look forward to some Matthew group members being baptised and confirmed this September.

LUKE GROUP (4 – 11 YEARS) Each week, we have a fun game or two, Bible teaching and time to chat and find out about each other. We sing songs and pray together. This term we are focusing on four Psalms, using a Faith in Kids course. Our hope is to provide a happy, faithful church community time which builds the children up in their love for God and knowledge of His Word. Our overall aim is that each child will trust in Jesus as their saviour and depend on God as they grow.

PLAY CRECHE (0 – 3 YEARS) A play creche is available during the service for parents to make use of with their little ones. The room is step up with toys and there is a livestream to keep you connected with the main service.
