Playtime Plus

 

Playtime Plus meets during school term times in St Aidan's Church, Stobhill and is a group for the under 5s and their carers. Meetings start at 9:30am and children enjoy a variety of activities. We begin at 9.30am with informal play in the children's area at the back of the church where we also offer refreshments to the children and adults. At approximately 10.15 we move to the front of the church, nearer the altar. The children are encouraged to sit on the carpet and take part in a very informal act of worship. 
This involves listening to a short story which is delivered using a variety of visual aids, depending on the theme, and is usually interactive due to the age of the children; then song time when one or two songs may be chosen by myself in connection with our theme but the children are also welcome to choose any particular song they wish (nursery rhymes etc.) that are familiar to them. We end the worship time with a short, sung prayer. We conclude with a simple craft which is also linked to our story and helps to reinforce the message it contains. We are a very informal group, with a mixture of people who come to Church and others who don't and anyone interested in finding out more can contact Wendy, who runs the group, or just come along and give us a try. Everyone will be made very welcome.
