Welcome
to Little Fishes, the
Christian pre-school group for babies, pre-school children and their parents
and carers at St Mary of Charity parish church. We meet in the south transept
of the church each Thursday morning during term time between 10 am and 11.30
am.
Everyone is welcome to join us at Little Fishes.
When you arrive at Little Fishes
each week we will ask you to register. If it is the first time you have been
you will be asked to complete a short registration form. We take the safety and
well-being of the children and all attending very seriously.
The morning follows a loose
structure, including playing with toys, craft activity, a time for a drink and
snack sometimes sharing a Bible story followed by songs and a prayer together.
We do not make any admission
charge, but we do
welcome donations towards our group. Your donations pay for materials for our
craft activities and for the refreshments.
We really hope your time with us
is fun and enjoyable as you get to meet new friends.
We hold Little Fishes during
school term time only and so there are no little fishes in the church during
half term.
Little Fishes relies on volunteers. Please let us know if you
would like to join the team.
We have started a Facebook Group so if you are on Facebook and
would like to join please either 'friend' Rebecca Millington, Dennis Parrett or Naomi Smith and
we’ll invite you, or find the Little Fishes group and ask to join! We keep it as a closed group and limit what can be posted but we would
like to use it to update people if we can.
Little Fishes' Song:
We are Little Fishes, one two three,
We are Little Fishes, swimming in the sea,
Singing and praying,
Laughing and playing,
Won’t you come along and swim with me?
We are Little Fishes, one two three,
We are Little Fishes, in a family,
Playing together,
Friends forever,
Knowing God loves you and me.
Naomi Smith with her guitar leads our singing so no excuses for
forgetting the tune!
Little Fishes' Prayer:
Father God,
Thank you that you care about me,
And give me things to make me happy,
Help me to remember others,
And treat them like my sisters and brothers
In Jesus’ name
Amen
