  Thriving Under 5s

  9.45am–12.15pmZoom

  Discover how children aged 0–5 can encounter God through
  play, ritual, and the gentle rhythms of early faith formation.

  Grounded in the belief that young children are naturally open to spiritual experience, this event explores how environment, routine, and simple practices can nurture faith from the very beginning.

  You will explore

  ✨ Creating meaningful, welcoming spaces for under 5s and their parents/carers
  ✨ Practical ideas rooted in play, movement, story, and sensory engagement
  ✨ How faith practices can be introduced in weekly settings
  ✨ How experiences can be taken home and lived day by day

  Expect hands‑on ideas, thoughtful theology, and creative inspiration.

  Led by experienced practitioners & writers
