Lighthouse Sunday Club Programme
Welcome back to Lighthouse for the Autumn term as we open up on Sunday, September 8th.
We have a new curriculum and are really looking forward to delivering the new programme!
We meet every Sunday term-time except the first Sunday of the month when we are all in church for all age worship which means this term’s dates are:
● 8th, 15th, 22nd & 29th Sept
● 13th & 20th October
● 10th, 17th & 24th November
● 8th & 15th December
and back on 12th January 2020.
There is a supervised crèche for 0-2 year olds at every 9.30am service. There will also be supervised activities for 3-8 year olds during the 9:30 am formal communion service during the school holidays on 27th October (half term) and 22nd & 29th December.
