Church Groups – Greenwood

Stay & Play

Ramblers

Stay and Play @Greenwood

 Thursdays 10am -12noon (Term time)  

The group is run by members of the church who all have a background in Early Years Education and childcare.  Most of the morning is devoted to free play, outdoor when possible.  A children’s snack of toast and fruit and a hot drink for adults is offered from10.30am.  Tidy up starts at around 11.30am and a rhyme/story time is offered at 11.45am  

We aim to provide: 

  • A safe and caring environment which nurtures friendships  
  • Activities and resources that encourage the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development of young children and their carers  
  • Ideas and inspiration for activities to undertake at home to continue learning  

We ask for a minimum donation of £1 per each person (adult or child)     

Greenwood Ramblers 

 Greenwood Ramblers meet monthly on a Saturday morning. We have our planning meeting in January and any members can lead a walk. Our group is not all church members as over the years friends of members have joined us. We are a happy, friendly group. We are a group of 12 in total but numbers on the walks vary. We have slowed down compared to the pace we used to set; we go at the pace of the slowest.  

We usually meet at 10 am and car share to the meeting point which is not more than 30/40 minute drive away.  Our walks are approximately 4 miles. We finish with a pub / cafe lunch where possible.

Memory Café

First Thursday in the month 1.30-3.30pm 

The memory café is hosted by church members and facilitated by volunteers who have had professional experience of supporting those living with dementia.  We provide a safe and comfortable space in which to chat, play games and enjoy a cuppa.  For more information, please email stalbansurcgreenwood@gmail.com
