Children and Families

Children are most welcome at St Denys and we try to provide for all ages and needs.   We also have good links with a number of local schools who regularly visit the church.  The 19th Leicester (Evington) Scout group attend church parades during the year.  They have their own website here.

Under 5's



We have a well-equipped children's corner at the back of the church with books and games, as well as plenty of paper and crayons.  You are most welcome to make use of this area during any of our services.



Our Worship for All service on the first Sunday of every month always includes opportunities for even the youngest to take part, whether it be joining in the drama, banging a tambourine or other activity linked to the Bible story for the day.

5-14's

Our Junior Church meets on Sundays in the Parish Centre from 9.45am.  The children meet in three different age groups and then join the rest of the congregation for communion.

The teaching is provided by volunteers from within the church and consists of bible related stories and craft activities.  There are also opportunities to take part in dramatic reading and fun sketches, which grow the children's understanding and confidence.

Junior Church don't usually meet during school holidays or on the first and last Sunday when the children join in with  the Worship for All service and the Communion for All Ages.

Welly Walks
 
Our first Welly Walk took place in February 2015 and was a great success.  The Welly Walks are for families with children aged 8 and under.  Bring your wellies and get outside whatever the weather to explore God's wonderful creation in the churchyard, Piggy's Hollow and the arboretum on Shady Lane.  Then it's back to the parish centre for art and craft activities with drinks and snacks.  See the calendar for details of the next Welly Walk.
 
St Denys Junior Singers
 
At Christmas 2014 the Junior Singers were formed to sing with the adults at the carol service. They did a superb job and have since performed an excellent Easter musical.  All children are welcome from age 7 to 18. Contact Wendy at wsls99@yahoo.co.uk.
