Resources for families and children

 

This page provides some resources allowing you and your family to worship at home.

Each day, the Church of England publishes audio and text of the Prayer for the Day which you may consider using and sharing. We will be adding more resources to this page over the coming weeks.

An Act of Spiritual Communion can be downloaded here. Further national resources can be found on the Church of England website here.

Below are some videos and supporting materials being provided each week by the Reverend Mina Munns, Children and Families Missioner Jacqueline Atkinson, and the Reverend Rachel Scheffer and the Reverend James Harvey from our Children and Young People's Team.
