Dawn Chorus

On the first Sunday of each month at Westbury Park Methodist Church, we have a special service for children under 7 and their families. It is informal – action songs suitable for little ones, a story and some simple prayers. It starts at 09.15 and the service lasts about 20 minutes. There is no lower age limit for this service!

Sunday Activities

Crèche

There are crèche facilities available with a variety of toys at St Alban’s 10.15am service. The room is glass fronted looking into the church and the service is relayed into the crèche via a loudspeaker. Use it for as little or as much of the service as you need. The crèche is most suitable for children under 3 years of age.

SUNDAY CLUB @ ST ALBAN’S

All Sunday Club groups stay in church on the second Sunday of the month for
the all-age family service.

Bright Stars : 3-5 years
As children approach 3 years old & the crèche may start to lose
its appeal, the Bright Stars group takes them up to the time
they move into Year 1 at school. Bright Stars meet during the
10.15 a.m. service at St Alban’s Church on the third, fourth and
fifth Sundays of each month. We meet in the Wells Room, St Alban’s Church
Hall, a small room decorated with pre-school displays.

The emphasis is on play and fun! Parents are welcome to stay or return to the service depending on the
needs of your child.

Sunday Club : 5 – 12 years

Follow the crowd during the second hymn at the 10.15 service for a warm welcome in the St Alban’s Church Hall. Join the Discoverers, Adventurers and Explorers for a variety of activities such as games, craft and drama.

Quest : 13 – 16 years

Meet in the Vestry to find out more!

Junior Choir

St Alban’s Junior Choir welcomes all children of primary school age or just below. Junior Choir meets together from 6.15 to 6.45pm on a Friday night in St Alban’s Church in school term time. Nicky and Nigel’s teaching is based on voice to voice technique and does not require an ability to read – just enthusiasm! The main aim is to build self confidence to perform.

St Alban’s Church Choir

Choir practice is on Friday night and we are looking for some new members. The ‘front row’ ( trebles ) meet from 7 – 8.30pm  and need to be aged 7 – 16 years. The ‘back row’ has adult singers singing alto, tenor or bass and meet from 7.30 – 8.30pm. Enthusiasm is more important than ability !!
