  • Things to do with children in spring

    Spring is full of opportunities to get together and celebrate lots of events at home and in church, including Mother's Day, Easter and Godparents' Sunday.
  • Godparents’ Sunday

    Godparents are really special people. They make serious promises at the christening and many are part of a family for years. It’s such an important relationship that the Church of England sets aside a whole day to celebrate. This year, it will be on May 6th. Whether your church is holding a special service or not, you can still let your godparents or godchildren know how much they mean to your family.
