Children in church means the faith has a future. Most of us are keen to welcome families with young children to church, but it is a great idea to make that welcome loud and clear. It’s too easy to feel self-conscious about clatters and squeaks, and way too easy to think its only YOUR kids that make noise!

This page has some wonderful resources ready to communicate a “be yourself” welcome to families and children. There’s a letter for families to say thanks for bringing your children to church, and a whole toolkit for Communion with lots of Ideas for parents who want to talk with their children about the Eucharist and their part in it.
